Spatial Light Modulator

Based on the optical rotation effect of nematic liquid crystals, Spatial Light Modulators (SLM) are very suitable for modulating the phase, amplitude or polarization state of light.                                                             

The SLM is available in either single or dual mask configurations. The dual layer mask allows independent control of both phase and amplitude.


Spatial Light Modulator


Advantages:

  • A large number of LabView instruction set, MATLAB and C library, easy to operate

  • An analog-to-digital conversion port, can be used for such as pulse optimization feedback

  • Customize AR coating is available

  • Optional detachable lenses are available to assemble in a reflective configuration


Application:

High resolution modulation of phase and amplitude, especially suitable for pulse shaping of ultra-short pulses and high power lasers
