The X15213-03BR is a high-power laser type liquid crystal on silicon spatial light modulator designed for 1050 ± 50 nm wavelength operation. It features a 1272 × 1024 pixel array with a 12.5 μm pixel pitch and a 15.9 × 12.8 mm active area. The device includes a built-in water-cooled heatsink for high power handling capability, enabling operation with average laser powers up to 200 W. It uses a DVI-D digital video interface for PC control, supports 256-level input signals at 60 Hz, and operates within a temperature range of +10 to +40 °C. Light utilization efficiency is 97% with a rise time of 27 ms and fall time of 83 ms. The module is mounted in a compact housing suitable for optical tables.
High-power laser type (1050 ± 50 nm)
The X15213 series devices are a reflective type of pure phase Spatial Light Modulators (SLMs), based on Liquid Crystal on Silicon (LCOS) technology in which liquid crystal (LC) is controlled by a direct and accurate voltage, and can modulate a wavefront of light beam. The LCOS-SLMs are carefully designed to achieve high light utilization efficiency from various points of view, such as reflectivity, aperture ratio and diffraction noise due to the pixel structure. The X15213 series can be controlled via a PC using the Digital Video Interface (DVI), which is a standard interface for PC displays. The distortions in the LCOS chip, such as wavefront distortion and non-linear response of the LC, are efficiently compensated by the controller. Easy PC control, precise and linear phase modulation characteristics can be accomplished with the X15213 series. They can also provide high diffraction efficiency and high light utilization efficiency.
