Meadowlark Optics award-winning Spatial Light Modulators (SLMs) provide precision retardance control for spatially varying phase or amplitude requirements. Our SLMs consist of liquid crystal (LC) pixels, each independently addressed, acting as separate variable retarders. For this tech-talk, I'll focus on a specific subset: those that achieve this using a pixelated, two-dimensional array. In other words, you plug it to your computer and it is recognized as a monitor display. Currently, OpenWFS supports the use of phase-only spatial light modulators through the following simple interface: The set_phases() method takes a scalar or a 2-D array of phase values in radians, which is wrapped to the.
