Liquid crystal light modulators are excellently suited for modulating the phase, amplitude or polarization state of a light wave. They are based on the electrical control of optical properties of a nematic liquid crystal layer.
An example of the capabilities of our liquid crystal laboratory is the SLM-S spatial light modulator based on a linear array of individually controllable strips. The modulators work for light in the 430 to 1600 nm wavelength range. They are equipped with a single-mask or a dual-mask array. The dual-mask array makes it possible to control the phase and amplitude simultaneously and independently.
Each of the 320 or 640 strips can be controlled separately with 12-bit resolution. All SLM-series liquid crystal modulators are easy to connect to your computer via USB.
