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.
2. Speed and Response Time
SLM speed is crucial for applications requiring real-time dynamic light control or rapid execution of complex operations.
3. Wavelength Range
SLMs must be optimized for the wavelength of the light source used.
4. Light Resistance
Light resistance determines the power tolerance of incident light on the SLM. Applications such as laser processing require SLMs with high light resistance.
