We have developed optically-addressed and electrically-addressed liquid crystal spatial phase-only light modulators having
no pixelized structures. We obtained a large depth of phase-only modulation and high diffraction efficiency based on the electro-optical
characteristics of a parallel-aligned nematic liquid crystal. These spatial light modulators (SLM) are of the reflection type,
so there would be a loss of power in the readout light from the half mirror, which was set up so as to separate the incident
and reflected lights. To optimize the characteristics of a reflection type spatial phase-only light modulator, we have proposed
an oblique incident optical readout setup. We have examined the effect of conditions such as the polarization direction and
the incidence angle of the readout light, and the orientation of liquid crystal molecules in the SLM. High diffraction efficiency
close to the theoretical maximum value was obtained by adjusting the above conditions. The simulation analysis can well explain
the experimental results of phase modulation. 相似文献

This technical note outlines the results of a series of experiments performed on two spatial light modulators. The two modulators were a Hughes Corporation LCLV and an optically-addressed ferroelectric liquid crystal SLM fabricated by the University of Colorado at Boulder and Displaytech. These experiments were performed to determine the modulated response of the read beam as a function of the write light intensity. 相似文献

We present a discrete correlation processor-2 (DCP-2), which is an optical processor with reconfigurability of interconnection patterns for large-fan-out optical interconnection systems. To our knowledge, there is no reconfigurable optical processor satisfying the requirements for large fan-outs such as high-speed reconfiguration of interconnection pattern, high optical efficiency, and high contrast ratio, because existing spatial light modulators (SLM#x0027;s) lack at least one of these features. The DCP-2 architecture fulfills the requirements by using a hybrid configuration composed of a high-speed image steerer and a spatial light modulator, which work in a complementary manner to shorten the setup time of the SLM. We constructed two kinds of prototype demonstrators based on this architecture. In the experiment, reconfiguration speed of the DCP-2 prototype with shift-invariant optical interconnections, in which a liquid crystal SLM cooperated with a two-dimensional acousto-optic beam deflector, was about 26,000 times faster than that of the standalone SLM at the cost of 50#x0025; energy loss by the deflector. 相似文献

Spatial resolution is an important performance characteristic of spatial light modulators (SLM). One of the key factors affecting the spatial resolution of liquid crystal (LC)-based SLM is the fringing field effect. This effect can be reduced in thin LC cells with corresponding reduction in the electro-optical response. A strong electro-optic response in thin LC layer can be attained using the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) phenomenon. While SPR-based LC SLMs were already demonstrated about 15 years ago, their development has been hampered in part by low resolution, due to the finite propagation length of the surface plasmons (SPs). A fine patterning of the metal layer supporting the propagation of SPs is studied as a possible solution for reducing the spatial blurring associated with the long propagation length of SPs. The results of detailed computer simulations showing improved resolution SPR-LC-SLM are presented. 相似文献

Achieving phase only modulation from a spatial light modulator (SLM) is useful for many optical processing tasks. In this paper, we demonstrate a simple method of decoupling phase and amplitude modulation in a twisted nematic liquid crystal (TNLC) SLM using a double pass technique. A Jones calculus model is developed which matches our experimental data. 相似文献

A spatial light modulator (SLM) is introduced to an optical manipulation system. The real-time reconfigurable feature of the SLM makes it possible to perform an optical manipulation of microparticles without mechanical movements of optical parts. A liquid crystal SLM incorporated in the system forms a Fresnel zone plate (FZP). The beam spot generated by the FZP is imaged on a sample solution by reduction optics. A microparticle in the sample solution is trapped by the beam and manipulated by changing the addressing position of the FZP onto the SLM from a computer. The nonmechanical optical manipulation of microparticles is demonstrated for the first time. 相似文献

The nonlinear response of light transmission characteristics of a liquid crystal (LC) spatial light modulator (SLM) is studied.
The results show that the device exhibits a wide range of variations with different control parameters and input settings.
Experiments were performed to obtain intensity modulation that is best described by either power-law or sigmoidal functions.
Based on the inverse transformation, an appropriate pre-processing scheme for electrically addressed input gray-scale images,
particularly important in several optical processing and imaging applications, is suggested. Further, the necessity to compensate
the SLM image nonlinearities in a volume holographic data storage and retrieval system is demonstrated. 相似文献

In liquid crystal spatial light modulator(SLM)-based holographic projection, the image is usually displayed at a distant projection screen through free space diffraction from a computer-generated hologram(CGH). Therefore,it allows for removing of the projection lens for the sake of system simplification and being aberration free, known as the "lensless holographic projection". However, the maximum size of the optical projected image is limited by the diffraction angle of the SLM. In this Letter, we present a method for the implementation of image magnification in a lensless holographic projection system by using convergent spherical wave illumination to the SLM.The complete complex amplitude of the image wavefront is reconstructed in a lensless optical filtering system from a phase-only CGH that is encoded by the off-axis double-phase method. The dimensions of the magnified image can break the limitation by the maximum diffraction angle of the SLM at a given projection distance.Optical experiment results with successful image magnification in the lensless holographic projection system are presented. 相似文献

We demonstrate a full-range complex and transmissive spatial light modulator (SLM) for simultaneous and independent amplitude and phase modulation of an input wave field. Arbitrary scalar complex optical fields are generated by stacking a pixelated liquid crystal display operating in phase-only (2π) modulation with passive polarization-sensitive components. The principle is based on optical combining the light fields of two neighboring phase-only modulating pixels, which were made orthogonally polarized by a structured half-wave plate, then passing through a birefringent plate to laterally shift one of the beams collinear to the other, and finally bringing to interference by a linear polarizer. Complex modulation by the proposed SLM is experimentally verified in monochrome green operation. 相似文献

The liquid crystal spatial light modulator (LC SLM) is very suitable
for wavefront correction and optical testing and can produce a
wavefront with large phase change and high accuracy. The LC SLM is
composed of thousands of pixels and the pixel size and shape have
effects on the diffractive characteristics of the LC SLM. This paper
investigates the pixel effect on the phase of the wavefront with the
scalar diffractive theory. The results show that the maximum optical
path difference modulation is 41\,$\mu$m to produce the paraboloid
wavefront with the peak to valley accuracy better than $\la$/10.
Effects of the mismatch between the pixel and the period, and black
matrix on the diffraction efficiency of the LC SLM are also analysed
with the Fresnel phase lens model. The ability of the LC SLM is
discussed for optical testing and wavefront correction based on the
calculated results. It shows that the LC SLM can be used as a
wavefront corrector and a compensator. 相似文献

Basic structures and functions of optically addressed spatial light modulators (SLMs) are discussed in the context of system applications. The most important functions imposed on spatial light modulators are those of image acceptance and transducers. SLMs using ferroelectric liquid crystal (FLC) satisfy essential requirements for high levels of resolution, sensitivity and response speed. We specifically surveyed the current performance of bipolar-operational spatial light modulators (BSLMs) that sufficiently exploit the bistability of FLC to output reversibly positive and negative images and to store them. The high performance of BSLMs makes them useful for many optical applications including image processing and real-time holography. 相似文献

We present a simple technique for the determination of pixel size and pitch of liquid crystal (LC) based spatial light modulator
(SLM). The proposed method is based on optical diffraction from pixelated LC panel that has been modeled as a two-dimensional
array of rectangular apertures. A novel yet simple, two-plane measurement technique is implemented to circumvent the difficulty
in absolute distance measurement. Experimental results are presented for electrically addressed twisted nematic LC-SLM removed
from the display projector. 相似文献

We demonstrate pulse shaping via arbitrary phase modulation with a reflective, 1 × 4096 element, liquid crystal spatial light modulator (SLM). The unique construction of this device provides a very high efficiency when the device is used for phase modulation only in a prism based pulse shaper, namely 85%. We also present a single shot characterization of the SLM in the spatial domain and a single shot characterization of the pulse shaper in the spectral domain. These characterization methods provide a detailed picture of how the SLM modifies the spectral phase of an ultrashort pulse. 相似文献
