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.
Industry In the 1980s, large SLMs were placed on overhead projectors to project computer monitor contents to the screen. Since then, more modern projectors have been developed where the SLM is built inside
Industry The SPIE Digital Library offers a comprehensive collection of research articles, conference papers, and technical documents focused on spatial light modulators (SLMs), reflecting the breadth and depth of
Industry Spatial Light Modulators (SLMs) are quasi-planar devices, allowing for the modulation of the amplitude, phase and polarization, or a combination of these parameters of an incident light beam according to
Industry Spatial light modulators, as dynamic flat-panel optical devices, have witnessed rapid development over the past two decades, concomitant with the advancements in micro- and opto-electronic integration
Industry A spatial light modulator (SLM) is a pixellated liquid crystal device that can individually control the phase value of each pixel. It imposes spatially varying modulation onto an incident beam, allowing for the
Industry With continued SLM development, powerful general parallel optical computers and information processors can be seen on the horizon, probably targeted toward applications from such areas as
