The main technologies used in spatial light modulators, or SLMs, at the moment are liquid crystal displays, or LCDs, and microelectromechanical systems, or MEM systems. The choice between MEMS and LCD technology is influenced by a number of factors, including the intended modulation range, speed, complexity, and cost of the SLM system. Both approaches have advantages and disadvantages, and they are applied in many different fields, including as display systems, holography, photonics, and optics.

Understanding Spatial Light Modulators: Revolutionizing Light Manipulation

A Spatial Light Modulator, commonly referred to as SLM, is a dynamic device capable of altering the amplitude, polarization, or phase of light pulses in two dimensions. Depending on its design and purpose, it can operate as a transmissive or reflective device, thereby spatially modifying the physical attributes of light. The primary technologies harnessed for SLMs are Liquid Crystal Displays (LCD) and Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS), each offering distinct advantages based on variables such as modulation range, speed, complexity, and cost.
