Applications of Dynamic Diffractive Optical Elements using a Programmable Spatial Light Modulator

Using a HoloEye SLM (spatial light modulator) as a multi-level phase modulator, the diffractive optical elements can be programmed onto the reflective Liquid Crystal on Silicon (LCoS) display so that dynamic displays may be performed. A MATLAB program is written to produce the DOE, while a FRESNEL software program is used to confirm the display elements.
