Measurement of the amplitude and phase modulation of a liquid crystal spatial light modulator

In this paper an alternative and simple technique to measure the complex transmittance of a liquid crystal spatial light modulator (LC-SLM) is presented. By means of this technique the user can measure the amplitude and phase modulation of any LC-SLM through a simple interferometric setup. Particula...

Sumario:In this paper an alternative and simple technique to measure the complex transmittance of a liquid crystal spatial light modulator (LC-SLM) is presented. By means of this technique the user can measure the amplitude and phase modulation of any LC-SLM through a simple interferometric setup. Particularly, optical characterization of specimen Holoeye LC2002 is carried out and its amplitude and phase curves are obtained.
