Overview
The SLM-250 is spatial light modulator with liquid crystal and optical thin film structure optimized for the UV wavelength range. It boasts high-resolution WUXGA (1920 × 1200) and high repeatability of phase stability of 0.003 π or less (typical value), and enables precise 10-bit phase control (1024 levels). It provides high-precision light control in a wide range of applications that require UV compatibility, such as photolithography, wavefront correction, optical beam shaping and manipulation, and biosensing.
