Dewetting-Based Spatial Light Modulator for High-Power Lasers
Invention Summary:
Current spatial light modulator (SLM) technology relies on either digital mirror arrays or liquid crystal reflective and transmittive cells. However, due to the upper bounds on the maximum light intensity of those systems, the applications of SLMs in fields where high intensity is required are limited.
