Customized versions are also available with the panel separated from the control unit contact Tech Support for details. Locking rings are installed to fix the adjustment settings, as well as provide extra stability. For more details on the operating modes, please see the Software and App Note tabs.Įach standard spatial light modulator (EXULUS-HD1, -HD2, -HD3, -HD4, and -4K1) includes a built-in SLM panel with independent horizontal and vertical tilt adjustment of ☓.2°. The GUI enables quick switching between operating modes, as well as allowing images, videos, and patterns to be uploaded to the panel. The CGH mode also allows tilting and focusing effects to be overlaid onto a pattern. Different driving modes are supported by the software, including full frame, image input, video input, Fresnel lens, diffraction, and computer-generated holography (CGH). They are bundled with a software GUI that provides complete control over the device. For applications requiring improved thermal stability and high-power handling (≤200 W/cm) in the 400 nm to 850 nm or 650 nm to 1100 nm wavelength ranges, high-power SLMs are available.Įxulus spatial light modulators are driven by an HDMI signal and operate as a general Full HD, WUXGA, or 4K screen. These spatial light modulators provide far more pixels than lower-order phase modulators such as segmented or deformable mirrors.

For maximum phase shift values, refer to the table to the upper right. This phase control is highly stable with minimal fluctuations and minimal crosstalk with adjacent pixels. Thorlabs' Exulus ® Spatial Light Modulators (SLMs) employ Liquid Crystal on Silicon (LCoS) technology to produce high-resolution, high-speed reflective phase modulation with individually addressable pixels.
