LCOS-SLM (Optical phase modulator)

The LCOS-SLMs are reflective spatial light phase modulators that freely modulate optical phases and optical phase of laser is modulated by the liquid crystal. Wavefront control of the light can be applied to optical beam photolithography, aberration correction.

Product lineup

  • Aluminum mirror

This type of LCOS-SLM utilizes the reflection of light from aluminum pixel electrodes formed on the CMOS chip and has a wide reflection band, making it usable over a broad wavelength range.

  • Dielectric multilayer film mirror

This type has a dielectric multilayer film designed for specific laser wavelengths and formed on the pixel electrodes. Compared to the wide wavelength band type, it provides higher reflectivity to reduce the absorption of light inside the LCOS chip and in this way delivers excellent performance in light utilization efficiency and light resistance.

  • Dielectric multilayer film mirror and water-cooled heatsink

This type has a head designed for specific wavelengths and equipped with a water-cooled heatsink that suppresses temperature rises in the liquid crystal caused by laser irradiation to further improve the light resistance, making it compatible with high-power lasers.

  • Dielectric multilayer film mirror, water-cooled heatsink, and sapphire glass

By combining a water-cooled heat sink with a sapphire glass substrate, we have significantly improved heat dissipation efficiency and enhanced power handling capability. As a result, the device can handle high-power lasers exceeding 700 W, commonly used in metal processing applications.

Furthermore, in a long-duration irradiation test at 984 W for 100 hours, no change was observed in the phase modulation characteristics, demonstrating exceptional reliability.

We are continuously working to further improve power handling capability. For the latest test results or detailed information, please contact us via the inquiry form.
