Mastering Spatial Light Modulators
Discover the principles, types, and applications of Spatial Light Modulators in optics, including their role in beam shaping and holography.
Here we introduce a new class of spatial light modula-tor that provides both 2D pixel geometry and high speed. The device operates by encoding spatial information in frequency bins via a broadband optical phase modulator, and decoding them via a first-of-its-kind . The spatial light modulators developed at Fraunhofer IPMS consist of arrays of micromirrors on semiconductor chips, with the number of mirrors varying from a few hundred to several million depending on the application. In most cases, this requires a highly integrated application-specific integrated. A display system includes a segmented light source including a plurality of separately controlled segments to emit light, optics to d...

A spatial light modulator (SLM) is a device that can control the intensity, phase, or polarization of light in a spatially varying manner. A simple example is an overhead projector transparency. Usually when the term SLM is used, it means that the transparency can be controlled by a computer. SLMs are primarily marketed for image projection, displays devices, and maskless lithography. SLMs are also used in optical computing and holographic optical tweezers.

The use of MEMS-based spatial light modulators has grown beyond displays to printing, fabrication of integrated circuits, and telecommunications.
