The first demonstration to our knowledge in the spectral range from 300 to $1100\mathrm{nm}$ is presented for the amplitude modulation characteristics of a two-channel 648-pixel liquid crystal spatial light modulator. The broadest spectral amplitude modulation for UV (380– $420\mathrm{nm}$ ) and visible-to-near-IR (500– $900\mathrm{nm}$ ) pulses to generate a spectral-shifted pulse pair is experimentally realized. The results show that the liquid crystal spatial light modulator has a potential application for attosecond extreme-UV pulse characterization with the conventional SPIDER algorithm and the capability to shape monocycle optical pulses.
