Spatial Light Interference Microscopy (SLIM) using twisted-nematic liquid-crystal modulation.
We report the use of a twisted nematic liquid-crystal spatial light modulator (TNLC-SLM) for quantitative phase imaging. The experimental setup is a new implementation of the SLIM principle, which is a phase shifting, white light method for quantitative phase imaging. The approach is based on switching between the phase and amplitude modulation modes of the SLM. Our system is able to deliver a ...
متن کاملCardiomyocyte Imaging Using Real-Time Spatial Light Interference Microscopy (SLIM)
Spatial light interference microscopy (SLIM) is a highly sensitive quantitative phase imaging method, which is capable of unprecedented structure studies in biology and beyond. In addition to the π/2 shift introduced in phase contrast between the scattered and unscattered light from the sample, 4 phase shifts are generated in SLIM, by increments of π/2 using a reflective liquid crystal phase mo...
متن کاملPoincaré-sphere representation of phase-mostly twisted nematic liquid crystal spatial light modulators
We establish necessary conditions in order to design a phase-only wave front modulation system from a liquid crystal display. These conditions determine the dependence of the polarization state of the light emerging from the display on the addressing gray level. The analysis, which is carried out by means of the coherence-matrix formalism, includes the depolarization properties of the device. T...
متن کاملOptimization of the spatial light modulation with twisted nematic liquid crystals by a genetic algorithm.
An optimization technique determining the configuration of optical components in a spatial light modulator is proposed. We study a spatial light modulator composed of a twisted nematic liquid crystal, a polarization state generator, and a polarization state detector. To obtain the desired phase and amplitude modulations, four parameters of the polarization state generator and detector should be...
متن کاملNew bistable twisted nematic liquid crystal displays
We have developed new bistable twisted nematic ~BTN! displays that operate between the 2p/2 and 3p/2 twist states and between the p/2 and 5p/2 twist states. Together with the ~0,2p! BTN, this forms a set of all possible transmittive BTNs. Experimentally, it was confirmed that several switching wave forms could be used to switch the BTN from one state to another. Voltages below 10 V are sufficie...
