공간 광변조기(spatial light modulator)는 빛의 진폭, 위상 혹은 편광 상태를 공간적으로 변조하는 소자이다. 2차원적인 화소 배열을 갖는 공간 광 변조기는, 전자 소자들이 지니지 않는, 정보를 고속으로 병렬 처리할 수 있는 기능에 힘입어, 광상관기, 광컴퓨터, 프로젝션 TV, 빔 프로젝트, 홀로그래피 메모리의 핵심 소자로 지난 50년간 활발히 연구되어, 액정 공간 광 변조기, 자기 광학 공간 광 변조기$^{(1)(2)}$ 등이 개발되었다. 이 중에서 자기광학 공간 괌 변조기는 화소의 스위칭 스피드가 빠르고, 견고하고, 내방사능성을 가질 뿐만 아니라, 비휘발성이라는 장점을 가지고 있어, 주로 우주항공용의 Miniature Ruggedized Optical Correlator(MROC)$^{(3)}$ 에 사용되어 왔다. 본 논문에서는 새로운 개념의 공간 광 변조기인 자성 포토닉 결정을 이용한 자기 광학 공간 광 변조기(MPC-MOSLM)의 제조에 관하여 논하고자 한다 (중략)

광 정보 처리 특성을 극대화하기 위해 실시간 동작이 가능한 공간 광 변조기를 사용하며 그중 액정 화면은 기존의 공간 광 변조기에 비해 가격이 저렴하고 특히 꼬인 네마틱 액정 화면 공간 광 변조기는 전기 신호에 따라 광을 변조 할 수 있다는 원리에 의해 여러 가지 이론과 설계 방법이 연구되었으며 기본 매개 변수들을 효과적으로 계산하는 방법이 계속 발표되었다. 본 논문에서는 원형 편광 된 광을 꼬인 네마틱 결정을 갖는 공간 광 변조기에 투사 시켜서 검광기에 통과한 세기 분포를 관찰하여 이상 굴절 축의 회전 방향을 결정하는 방법을 제안하였으며, 존스 행렬을 사용하여 수학적 타당성을 부여하였다.

In this paper, a new high resolution XGA-SLM is implemented through modification of a commercial TFT-LCD beam projector and its optical modulation characteristics as a spatial light modulator(SLM) is also analyzed. That is, the optics module, projection lamp and fans are removed from a commercial beam projector and instead, some electric circuits to compensate their removal are manufactured and then, by inserting them into the beam projector, a new XGA-SLM is finally implemented. From some characteristic experimental results of the implemented high resolution TFT-LCD SLM, the proposed TFT-SLM is found to have an good optical linearity in amplitude and phase modulation characteristics as a function of the input gray levels. Especially, through implementation of the suggested TFT-LCD panel, the implemented SLM is proposed as a new relatively low-cost and high resolution SLM for optical information processing.

Drive line shape for reflective magneto-optic spatial light modulator has been designed by computer simulation. A factor of 3 improvement in pixel switching sensitivity and power consumption, compared to the conventional reflective magneto-optic spatial light modulator, has been achieved by the use of wedge-shape drive line and a soft magnetic layer. A factor of 2 higher optical efficiency and a factor of 2 simpler fabrication process have been achieved by the use of drive lines that covers most of the surface of pixel and unpatterned insulator.

We proposed a three-dimensional holographic display technique without twin image noise by converting a complex hologram to an off-axis hologram. To implement the proposed technique we record the complex hologram of a three dimensional object that is composed of two slides located with different depth locations. We added spatial carrier to the complex hologram and after that, extract the real part of the spatial-carrier-added hologram. This converts the complex hologram to an off-axis hologram. We also reconstruct the off-axis hologram using a spatial light modulator for three dimensional display.

In this study, we investigate the trends and prospects of spatial light modulation (SLM) technology that enables full complex modulation as a next-generation SLM. Current SLM technology, which is used as a key element in holography, augmented reality (AR), XR, and realistic displays, has performance limits that modulate only amplitude or phase. Notably, SLM capable of full complex modulation does not produce diffraction noise, unlike DC and twin image, and thus has a high-efficiency performance. In the future, the application field of next-generation SLM, which can be full-complex modulated, is expected to cover a wide range of holography-AR and-XR devices, optical artificial intelligence, and 6G free space optics communications, which will greatly contribute to the development of a super-realistic metaverse platform and service.

In this paper, we made CGH patterns that had continuous amplitude distribution binary coded patterns with two different methods, and analyzed those patterns by using LCSLM (liquid crystal spatial light modulator). The error diffusion algorithm and direct quantization method were used as the binarization methods. The parameters of overall average brightness, mean square error, and diffraction efficiency were used in the comparison of reconstruction characteristics. The LCSLM which we used in this experiment was a binary reflective ferroelectric liquid crystal spatial light modulator addressed electrically with 256$\times$256 pixels, 87% fill factor and 15$\mu$m pixel pitch.
