Phase-only modulation with twisted nematic liquid-crystal spatial light modulators

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

It is shown that twisted nematic liquid-crystal spatial light modulators behave as phase-only modulators when operated below the conventional optical threshold. Thus such devices, when operated in a reflection mode, behave as spatial amplitude modulators when used between crossed polarizers above the optical threshold; they behave as phase modulators when used between parallel polarizers and operated below that threshold.
