Microstructured light control with phase-only spatial light modulators: From calibration to phase and amplitude encoding

摘要

Research in micro-structured light has recently provided several exciting outcomes i.e., microscopy though turbid media or parallel micro-structuring of materials. Basically, applications on this topic rely on the use of spatial light modulators (SLM) for carrying out laser beam control at micrometric level. In this contribution we present simple and useful methods for both calibration and encoding complex fields into phase-only SLMs.
