The LETO-3 phase only Spatial Light Modulator is based on a reflective LCOS microdisplay with full HD (1920 x 1080 pixel ) resolution. With a pixel pitch of 6.4 µm and a small interpixel gap of 0.2 µm the LETO-3 SLM provides a high fill factor of 93%.

The LETO-3 Spatial Light Modulator offers a reflectivity between 62% up to 75% (dependent on wavelength and version). The device offers diffraction efficiencies of more than 80% (16 level blazed grating) which leads to a total light efficiency of ~ 60%.

The LETO-3 SLM driver is prepared to work in color-field-sequential (CFS) mode e.g. with color-switchable LASER or LED lighting and the device features an LED-connector which can be used to synchronize the light source with the device. The driver features 4 slots with preconfigured CFS configurations for different environments which can be slected using the Configuration Manager Software.

Versions

HOLOEYE offers three different LETO-3 Spatial Light Modulator versions which are optimized for the use at different wavelength ranges / for different applications. One SLM version is optimized for the visible range, one version for the near IR range up to 1100 nm and a third version is optimized for fast response (180 Hz) and use for color-field-sequential (CFS) operation in the visible range with color-switchable RGB Laser.

Software Features

The LETO phase only modulator devices can simply be addressed like an external monitor using the standard HDMI interface of the graphics card. No additional software or dedicated hardware is needed to operate the SLM.

The LCOS SLM device is delivered with a GUI (Graphical User Interface) based Configuration Manger software. The Configuration Manager can be used to change geometrical settings, brightness, contrast and the electrooptical response by applying a new gamma curve or another digital drive scheme. An USB interface is used for these advanced callibrations.

In addition a HOLOEYE SLM Pattern Generator Software is provided with the SLM:

Besides that a special SLM Slideshow Player Software comes with the device. Also an SLM Display SDK is available for download which provides APIs (Application Programming Interface) for different programming languages to show images and data/ phase arrays directly on a HOLOEYE Spatial Light Modulator:
