“We use the SLM-200 for laser beam adjustment, wavefront correction, and micro-nanometer processing. The API of SLM-200 helped us to dynamically control the laser beam in micro-nanometer processing experiment.”

Professor Zongwei Xu
Tianjin University

“We use the SLM-200 to generate dynamic, large-scale optical focus arrays for applications in integrated photonics and quantum information science. The included wavefront correction data and detailed API helped us to quickly implement these techniques in the lab.”

Mr. Christopher Panuski
Massachusetts Institute of Technology

“The Santec SLM-200 provides our lab with the ability to precisely control wavefronts in our optical designs, manipulating the phase of our input beams to let us interrogate novel materials with very specific electromagnetic interactions. The high dynamic range and numerous wavelength options. The Santec SLMs afford us a variety of avenues to explore when optimizing our experimental designs.”

Dr. Moussa N'Gom
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute

“The Santec SLM-200 is incorporated into a interferometry setup to help us develop a holographic display. Using the SLM together with further computational processing, we are able to project a set of 2D object fields onto the SLM and make a 3D object out of it. The Santec SLM converts phase patterns into 10-bit grayscale images helping us to acquire high dynamic range images for our display purposes.”

FAQs

Is LCOS-SLM developed in-house?
Yes, we handle all aspects internally, from system design to manufacturing, as Santec is the manufacturer of Spatial Light Modulators. This ensures that the LCOS-SLM is optimized for each laser wavelength.
In which wavelength bands is the LCOS-SLM suitable for use?
We offer products in the wavelength range of 365-1600 nm. You can choose the product that corresponds to your light source.
Is it possible to rent a demo unit for evaluation?
Yes, it is possible. Please contact us to arrange a schedule. The loan period for demo equipment is usually two weeks. Upon return, we will ask you to submit a questionnaire.
