GUI Software

The GUI software provides an intuitive environment for basic SLM operations. Pattern display, loading, sequential display settings, and other operations can be easily performed, allowing even first-time users to follow the steps.

Key Features

DVI mode/USB mode switching
Wavelength setting
Display of pattern data in BMP and CSV
Sequential playback of multiple images

SLM Pattern Generator

The SLM Pattern Generator can create computer-generated holograms (CGHs), generate basic optical patterns such as diffraction gratings and lenses, and superimpose multiple patterns. Created patterns can be viewed and saved on the GUI.

The following patterns can be generated:

Laguerre Gaussian
Hermite Gaussian
Gray level
Fresnel lens
Grating
Hologram

SLM SDK

SDK (Software Development Kit) is a development kit that compiles the libraries, documentation, and samples necessary for efficient software development for a specific platform or application.

Developing Spatial Light Modulator (SLMs) using a variety of development languages can improve the controllability and scalability of optical systems. The SDK provides an environment in which timing can be set directly from the program, allowing for more flexible control and easier integration with external devices than GUI operation. This is expected to improve the efficiency of optical experiments and device control.

Using the SDK, it is possible to combine an SLM with devices such as cameras, lasers, and motorized stages, and control the distribution of light while exchanging data in real time. By updating holograms based on measurement results and synchronizing the timing of changes to the shape of light, it is possible to meet a variety of research and development needs. In addition, programming operating procedures can lead to automation of operations and improved reproducibility.

Applications include adaptive optics with wavefront compensation, particle manipulation with optical tweezers, laser processing, optical lithography, etc. In these applications, control via the SDK supports stable operation and flexible system construction.
