Spatial Light Modulator Principles

Download Principles Meadowlark Optics award-winning Spatial Light Modulators (SLMs) provide precision retardance control for spatially varying phase or amplitude requirements. Our SLMs consist of liquid crystal (LC) pixels, each independently addressed, acting as separate variable retarders. These SLMs are easily incorporated into optical systems requiring programmable masks and variable input/output devices. Applications include correlation, spectroscopy, […]

A Programmable Beam Shaping System for Tailoring the Profile of High Fluence Laser Beams

Summary Customized spatial light modulators (SLMs) are revolutionizing beam shaping for high-energy fusion-class laser systems. Designed for precision optical control, these modulators are strategically placed in a low-fluence relay plane to introduce programmable beam obscurations, mitigating potential damage from small optical component flaws that could otherwise limit system performance. This two-stage system employs 1920 × […]
