[PRJ9-2(Invited)] Sub-millisecond Switching Liquid Crystal on Silicon Spatial Light Modulators For Increased Information Bandwidth
Liquid Crystal on Silicon, Spatial Light Modulator, Sub-millisecond Switching
We demonstrate fast response time in working LCOS SLMs for the visible wavelength range applications. The same LCOS SLM can be modulated for phase-only applications and amplitude applications separately. For phase-only applications, the LCOS can achieve more than 2π of phase depth modulation at 640 nm wavelength. Sub-millisecond response time with no degradation of the contrast ratio or diffraction efficiency is demonstrated.
