With phase modulation, an optical path difference of up to one full-wave is produced between adjacent pixels of the Spatial Light Modulators. The output intensity remains uniform. Spatial Light Modulators are also used for amplitude control or modulation. A simple example is an overhead projector transparency. The device operates by encoding spatial information in frequency bins via a broadband optical phase modulator, and decoding them via a first-of-its-kind, high-resolution 2D spectrometer. Our SLMs consist of liquid crystal (LC) pixels, each independently addressed, acting as separate variable retarders. These SLMs are easily. Instead, we will consider a modern derivative of the above, namely shaping light with computer-generated holograms (digital holo-grams) using spatial light modulators (SLMs). 6 Digital holography for structured light has enabled many new advances, ranging from classical to quantum physics, including.
