Spatial Light Modulators

XY Amplitude Series

Complete, all-in-one system for individual pixel amplitude control

Boulder Nonlinear Systems XY Amplitude Series Spatial Light Modulators (SLMs) are designed for versatility and ease of use in typical optical laboratory environments.

The XY Amplitude Series of Spatial Light Modulators (SLMs) provide pixel-by-pixel control of the amplitude on an incident beam of light. The XY Amplitude Series SLMs can be utilized for applications requiring high-speed amplitude modulation such as spectroscopy, image processing, and optical correlation. The Boulder Nonlinear Systems (BNS) XY Amplitude Series SLMs offers pure polarization rotation at the highest speeds available on the market.

Boulder Nonlinear Systems (BNS) manufactures and sells liquid crystal based Spatial Light Modulators for a variety of applications. All BNS SLMs operate in reflection, based on liquid crystal on silicon (LCoS) technology.

Key features of our SLMs include high speed phase or amplitude modulation, high efficiency operation, and a complete, user-friendly graphical software interface.

Several parameters help define SLM characteristics. Pixel pitch is defined as the center-to-center spacing between adjacent pixels. Interpixel gap describes the edge-to-edge spacing between adjacent pixels.
