Binary-phase complex spatial light modulators (BP-C-SLMs) are proposed and simulated. This study shows that bottom-top mirror-symmetrical uniaxial systems between two orthogonal polarizers allow one to construct BP-C-SLMs. BP-C-SLMs double the information-handling capacity per pixel, compared to the conventional amplitude-only spatial light modulators (A-SLMs), as well as being simply implemented with a single spatial light modulator (SLM), rather than a combination of an A-SLM and a binary-phase SLMs. Under limited conditions, BP-C-SLMs can control only the amplitude in single-phase space, and act as A-SLMs.

Liquid Crystal Spatial Light Modulators (LC-SLMs) provide many interesting applications in laser optics and opto-el ectronic systems, in addition to displays. Among them, three topics developed at Thales Research & Technology are reviewed: wavefront correction for laser beam control, microwave processing in radar systems and holography for TN-LCDs viewing angle compensation.

Spatial light modulators (SLMs) are centrally important devices in volumetric recording, data Processing, Pattern recognition and other optical systems. Various types of reusable SLMs with two-dimensional pixel arrays have been intensively developed. Of these, magneto-optic spatial light modulators (MOSLMs) have advantages of high switching speed, robustness, nonvolatility, and radioactive resistance. In this article, we review recent development work on MOSLMs, mainly in relation to our own studies.

A digital micro-mirror device (DMD) has the potential to modulate an incident wave with high speed, and the application for holographic display has been studied by many researchers. However, the quality of reconstructed image isn't good in comparison with that from a gray-scale amplitude-only hologram since it is a binary amplitude-only spatial light modulator (SLM). In this paper, we suggest a method generating a set of binary holograms to improve the quality of the reconstructed image. Here, we are concerned with the case for which the object plane is positioned at the Fourier domain of the plane of the SLM. In this case, any point in the Fourier plane is related to all points in the hologram. So there is a chance to generate a set of binary holograms illuminated by incident wave with constant optical power. Moreover, we find an interesting fact that the quality of reconstructed image is improved when the spatial frequency bandwidth of the binary hologram is limited. Therefore, we propose an iterative segmentation algorithm generating a set of binary holograms that are designed to be illuminated by the wave with constant optical power. The feasibility of our method is experimentally confirmed with a DMD.

For coherent optical information processing the thickness uniformity of the spatial light modulators(SLMs)is highly demanded. The liquid crystal display(LCD), which is commercialized as a pocket-sized television, is considered as one of the most cheap 2-dimensional SLM. But usually it has lack of thickness uniformity. Thus phase correction to compensate the thickness nonuniformity must be preceded before it is used as an SLM. In this paper relatively easy phase compensation method applicable to binary SLMs is discussed and experimentally verified by using the optical joint transformantion concept.
