Software Features
The LETO-720 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 device is delivered with a GUI (Graphical User Interface) based Configuration Manager 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:
- Computation of computer generated holograms (CGH) from user defined images
- Generation of SLM signals representing basic optical functions such as lenses, gratings, axicon and vortex functions
- Superposition of CGH’s with basic optical functions to combine functionalities
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:
- National Instruments LabVIEWâ„¢ LabVIEW 2017 and later
- MathWorks MATLAB® R2009b and later
- Octave 7.2, 8.4
- Pythonâ„¢ 2.7 and 3.x
- C or C++ compiler (e. g. Microsoft Visual C++ Compiler)
