Parametric Generation of Variable Spot Arrays Based on Multi-Level Phase Modulation
Abstract
Holographic generation of beam spot array with high uniformity have been extensively investigated while existing methods cannot combine high quality and tunability. This paper demonstrated a method to generate beam spot array by using phase-only liquid crystal on silicon (LCOS) device. The proposed method is highly flexible and tolerant to the defects within the LCOS device. The uniformity deviation of the speckle array can be limited to within ±5% in the numerical simulation and the experimental results agreed well with the simulation results.
