Readout of Images on Spatial Light Modulator Using Reading Light Supplier

A readout function of a reading light supplier (RLS) is demonstrated by reading out images from an optical addressable spatial light modulator (SLM). The RLS supplies reading light to the reading side of the SLM and transmits readout images from the SLM. The RLS consists of a fiber plate and a redirector which has micro conical-hollows. The RLS contrast, which is the intensity ratio of the reading light to the stray light, is 9.2 and the power efficiency of the reading light supply is about 5%. A writing pattern on the SLM is a checkered pattern of 5 mm×5 mm cells, and it is read out successfully using the RLS. The maximum contrast of the readout image is 1.9.

Holographic Three-Dimensional Display Using an Electron-Beam-Addressed Spatial Light Modulator

Three-dimensional (3-D) or holographic information extracted by two-dimensional active optical heterodyne scanning has been demonstrated recently. The technique is called optical scanning holography. To reconstruct the obtainable 3-D holographic information, digital techniques have been used and demonstrated. For real-time applications, we need to investigate spatial-light-modulator-based systems. In this paper, we first briefly review optical scanning holography, and then present experimental results of 3-D image reconstruction using an electron-beam-addressed spatial light modulator.

Holographic Femtosecond Laser Processing with Multiplexed Phase Fresnel Lenses Displayed on a Liquid Crystal Spatial Light Modulator

Parallel femtosecond laser processing with a computer-generated hologram displayed on a spatial light modulator (SLM) is demonstrated. Use of the SLM enables performance of an arbitrary and variable patterning in laser processing. The hologram uses multiplexed phase Fresnel lenses (MPFLs) with features of independent tunability, three-dimensional (3D) parallelism of the diffraction peaks, optimization of the hologram with low computational costs, and low contribution of zero-order light to the processing. To make uniform the reconstructed diffraction peaks, an MPFL is optimized by changing the center phase and size of each phase Fresnel lens while taking account of the intensity distribution of the irradiated laser pulse and the spatial frequency response of an SLM. Using the holographic technique, two-dimensional parallel processing with a single-pulse irradiation of glass is demonstrated and the processing performance is analyzed.     

Spatial Temporal Analysis of Electrically-Addressable Phase-Only Spatial Light Modulator

An optically addressed parallel-aligned nematic-liquid-crystal spatial light modulator (PAL-SLM) has been studied as a dynamic phase-only modulation device. A computer control feature of the spatial light modulator is strongly desired for practical applications. For those demands, an electrically-addressable phase-only spatial light modulator has been developed to combine a liquid crystal display (LCD) with a PAL-SLM (LCD-coupled PAL-SLM) and its performance has been reported. However, a temporal characteristic especially two-dimensional (2D) response has not been discussed before. In this paper, 2D response analysis system has been constructed by using a high-speed complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (CMOS) camera (1000 frames/sec) and the 2D-modulation characteristic of the LCD-coupled PAL-SLM has been observed. As a result, the LCD has a spatially non-uniform modulation characteristic due to a scanning addressing. It has the potential to cause problems in high speed switching for a computer generated hologram. On the other hand, the spatial non-uniformity has not been observed with the LCD-coupled PAL-SLM.

High Efficiency Electrically-Addressable Phase-Only Spatial Light Modulator

To realize a high efficiency electrically addressable phase-only modulator, we have coupled a liquid crystal display (LCD) to an optically addressed parallel-aligned nematic liquid crystal spatial light modulator (PAL-SLM) with a set of lenses. Phase modulation exceeding 3ϖ at 532 nm wavelength was obtained. We obtained linear transfer characteristics for phase modulation at various desired phase levels after calibration and adjustment of the transfer characteristics of the PAL-SLM and the LCD. Diffraction efficiency of 40% for binary phase grating and of 90% for 8-level blazed phase grating, which were very close to the simulation values, were observed. The power loss of the readout light was caused when passed through a half mirror, therefore, we examined a setup using an oblique readout light at the modulator. Very high diffraction efficiency was obtained from the setup by optimizing the polarization direction and optical path for this light, and the orientation of liquid crystals. Since the modulator can perform at better than 90% diffraction efficiency and at nearly 100% reflectivity, various high efficiency systems utilizing such modulators are expected.     

Oblique-Incidence Characteristics of a Parallel-Aligned Nematic-Liquid-Crystal Spatial Light Modulator

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.

Neural Network Control of Liquid Crystal Spatial Light Modulator for Spectral Synthesis of Light

If illuminating light with expected spectral distribution can be synthesized, it will be a great help in many-applications, such as computer vision, pattern recognition, industrial quality control, and remote sensing. A light source system containing a liquid crystal spatial light modultor (LCSLM) is proposed for this purpose. A supervised neural network with a single layer was used to control the system. After training the neural nrtwork with data acquired from the system, it gives the data which should be written to LCSLM in order to synthesize illuminating light having certain spectral distribution. Eight spectral distributions were synthesized to test the performance of the system, and the average synthesizing error was 12%.
