Use the Jenoptik SLM-S liquid crystal light modulators optimally to spatially resolved modulation of phase and/or amplitude of a light beam.
Liquid Crystal Spatial Light Modulator from Jenoptik
The Jenoptik SLM-S liquid crystal spatial light modulators are variable phase/amplitude masks and make excellent tools for modulating ultrashort laser pulses. You can use them in a 4f arrangement or a CPA system (Chirped Pulse Amplification), for example, as well as to modulate CW laser light.
Jenoptik offers liquid crystal spatial light modulators with single-mask array for phase or amplitude modulation and with dual-mask array for the simultaneous modulation of phase and amplitude. The modulators are available with a resolution of 640 or 320 strips. Each strip can be individually controlled with 12-bit resolution. This means you can configure any strip pattern.
The liquid crystal light modulators are based on the principle of the electrical control of optical properties of a nematic liquid crystal layer (LC layer). You can use light in the 430 to 1600 nanometer wavelength range. On request, we can manufacture customer-specific antireflection coatings for various spectral ranges.
Liquid crystal based light modulators of type SLM are configurated with USB interface as well as Ethernet connection. This enables an easy integration of the modulators into a computer network.
