Spatial Light Modulators (SLMs) are devices that modulate the amplitude, phase, or polarization of light waves in real-time. The spatial light modulators developed at Fraunhofer IPMS consist of arrays of micromirrors on semiconductor chips, with the number of mirrors varying from a few hundred to several million depending on the application. In most cases, this requires a highly integrated application-specific integrated. The SPIE Digital Library offers a comprehensive collection of research articles, conference papers, and technical documents focused on spatial light modulators (SLMs), reflecting the breadth and depth of this rapidly evolving technology. They play a crucial role in various applications in optics and photonics, including beam shaping, holography, and optical tweezers. In this article, we will explore the.
