Elliot Scientific has added the LR-C 1080 high-resolution unit to complete the line-up of spatial light modulator (SLM) devices from Holoeye.
With widescreen ultra-extended graphics array (Wuxga) resolution of 1,920 x 1,200 pixels this model is capable of modulating light spatially in amplitude and phase via its computer-controlled reflective LCoS display.
Primarily used for prototyping in industrial development and research, the LC-R 1080's high resolution, 8.1um pixel pitch, 16:10 screen aspect ratio and DVI interface also makes it ideal for HDTV images.
Besides displays, other areas of use include: diffractive optics, biophotonics, medical laser applications and material processing - where strong laser pulses need to be shaped by applied phase modulation.
LCoS displays offer high light efficiencies and the Brillian high-contrast mode ensures good optical performance.
Integration into optical systems is made easier thanks to the small display size and the availability of long and flexible extension connections.
Driver software included with the LC-R 1080 runs under Windows and offers the user full control of the SLM.
Simple generation of diverse dynamic optical functions like gratings, lenses, axicons and apertures as well as the calculation of diffractive optical elements from user -defined images are possible too.
