Phase-Only 128x128 Spatial Light Modulator Based on Laslm Technology

Abstract

This contract was for the purpose of building 128xl28 pixel spatial light modulator capable of phase-only modulation using TI's unique flexure beam deformable mirror device (DMD) technology. The flexure beam DMD contains mirror elements that move vertically in response to an electrostatic force. The resulting piston-like motion provides broad range analog phase modulation with minimal amplitude modulation. Problems in the CCD addressing prevented the completion and delivery of a fully functioning device.
