Characteristics of complex light modulation through an amplitude-phase double-layer spatial light modulator.

چکیده
The complex modulation characteristics of a light field through an amplitude-phase double-layer spatial light modulator are analyzed based on the wave-optic numerical model, and the structural conditions for the optimal double-layer complex modulation structure are investigated. The relationships of interlayer distance, pixel size, and complex light modulation performance are analyzed. The main finding of this study is that the optimal interlayer distance for the double-layer structure can be found at the Talbot effect condition. For validating the practical usefulness of our findings, a high quality reconstruction of the complex computer-generated holograms and the robustness of the angular tolerance of the complex modulation at the Talbot interlayer distance are numerically demonstrated.

Measurement of the amplitude and phase modulation of a liquid crystal spatial light modulator
In this paper an alternative and simple technique to measure the complex transmittance of a liquid crystal spatial light modulator (LC-SLM) is presented.

متن کاملThe generation of flat-top beams by complex amplitude modulation with a phase-only spatial light modulator
Phase-only spatial light modulators are now ubiquitous tools in modern optics laboratories, and are often used to generate so-called structured light. In this work we outline the use of a phase-only spatial light modulator to achieve full complex amplitude modulation of the light, i.e., in amplitude and phase. We outline the theoretical concept, and then illustrate its use with the example of t...
متن کاملSampling technique for achieving full unit-circle coverage using a real-axis spatial light modulator
We investigate the possibility of using a real-axis spatial light modulator (SLM) to realize complexamplitude modulation with full coverage over the unit circle. The real-axis SLM produces a pixelated bipolar-amplitude wavefront. Each pixel is basically a spatial pulse width with the signal information being carried by the pulse’s amplitude. Data streams generated in this manner have real and i...

We report the use of an electrically addressed liquid crystal spatial light modulator (EALCSLM) operating in the phase mode as a phase-contrast filter (PCF). As an application, an optical phase encryption system has been implemented. We encrypt and decrypt a two-dimensional phase image obtained from an amplitude image. Encrypted image is holographically recorded in a Barium titanate crystal and...
متن کاملComputer generated complex filter for an all optical and a digital optical hybrid correlator
We present results of a correlation filter utilising a computer generated hologram using an analogue ferroelectric liquid crystal spatial light modulator (SLM). The SLM amplitude modulates light and can induce a 0/π phase shift, which is equivalent to modulating along the real axis. Two pixels are combined into a macropixel using a phase detour technique enabling full complex modulation. The me...
