Spatial Light Modulator Selection Guide

Meadowlark spatial light modulators (SLMs) will take your research to the next level. They are easy to use and can be integrated with other equipment for a complete research solution. Plus, our team of expert engineers is ready to help you should you have any questions.

Temperature control is available on both the 1920 x 1200 and the 1024 x 1024 models. Cooling options for high power lasers and phase stability or heating options to increase switching speed. On chip temperature sensors allow the user to monitor the SLM temperature either through the example program or the software developer kits.

Remove the computer bottleneck. The SLM drive electronics can store a library of up to 2,045 (for 1536 SLM) or 4,000 (for 768 SLM) user specified phase masks on the driver board. These masks can be selected in any sequence using on-board OverdrivePlus transition calculation for high-speed switching and extremely precise timing, without being limited by computer computation and data transfer speeds. High power handling. The 1536 SLM combines a large 3 cm x 3 cm active array with liquid cooling to support high laser powers. Delivering more power on target for applications that need it, from multi-spot photostimulation to laser welding.

High Resolution Holography at 800 fps! Oscilloscope traces show diffracted spots generated by 768 SLM at 800 Hz vs 100 Hz.
