Abstract

Approaching the ideal high resolution phase addressable modulator is a main task for current SLM (Spatial Light Modulator) development. Different technologies, such as optically addressed, modal and electrically addressed spatial light modulators compete in performance and applicability. The requested high Space-Bandwidth-Product (SBWP) can be served by the actual micro-structuring technology used to fabricate LCoS (Liquid Crystal on Silicon) micro-displays. Liquid crystal displays in different modes are suitable due to their birefringence properties and wide transmission range.
