Results for tag: "Spatial Light Modulator"

A Spatial Light Modulator (SLM) is a type of optoelectronic device used to modulate light in space. It is used in a variety of applications, such as laser beam shaping, optical data processing, and optical communications. SLMs are typically made of liquid crystal, liquid crystal on silicon, or deformable mirror devices. They are used to control the intensity, phase, polarization, and other properties of light. SLMs are used in a variety of industries, including medical, industrial, and consumer electronics. In medical applications, SLMs are used to control the intensity of laser beams for surgical procedures. In industrial applications, SLMs are used to shape laser beams for cutting and welding. In consumer electronics, SLMs are used to control the intensity of light for displays and projectors. SLM technology is rapidly evolving, with new products being developed to meet the needs of various industries. Companies in the SLM market include Holoeye Photonics, Hamamatsu Photonics, Jenoptik, and Thorlabs. Show Less Read more
