A spatial light modulator (SLM) is a device that can control the intensity, phase, or polarization of light in a spatially varying manner. A simple example is an overhead projector transparency. The ability to control the amplitude and phase of optical wavefronts has many important scientific and technological. Thorlabs' Exulus® Spatial Light Modulators (SLMs) employ Liquid Crystal on Silicon (LCoS) technology to produce high-resolution, high-speed reflective phase modulation with individually addressable pixels. These devices have revolutionized various fields, including optics, electromagnetism, and photonics. [MORE TO COME] Addressing Mode: Where is the information coming from? The addressing mode refers to the type of input signal that is used to modulate the readout.
