AO Kit SLM | Adaptive Optics kit with Spatial Light Modulator

AO Kit SLM – Adaptive Optics using a SLM

A Spatial light modulator (SLM) is an optical device that dynamically controls the phase, amplitude, or polarization of light across a spatial profile, and is widely used in applications such as beam shaping, holography, adaptive optics, optical trapping, and optical communications.

The AO kit SLM is a complete adaptive optics kit using an SLM allowing users to precisely and dynamically modify the phase of a wavefront, allowing real-time correction of optical aberrations caused by turbulence, imperfect optics, or refractive index variations.

The AO kit SLM is a combination of:

We explore the capabilities of the Holoeye SLM model ERIS-1.1 for adaptive aberration control, with the HASO LIFT 680 in our blog, link here and picture below.
