Abstract

Photoaddressed spatial light modulators (SLM) are an efficient means of modulating light with light and provide the benefits of optical parallelism in both write and read modes. Figure 1 shows the general form of a reflective-readout photoaddressed SLM. The input and output are optically isolated and the SLM can provide gain via an intense readout source. Incoherent-to-coherent light conversion is also readily achieved by the SLM.
