How to Select Spatial Light Modulators and Necessary Characteristics
When selecting an SLM, several key characteristics must be considered as they directly affect device performance. Below are some crucial factors to consider when choosing an SLM.
1. Resolution
The resolution of an SLM determines how finely light can be controlled. High-resolution SLMs are suitable for applications requiring precise optical control.
