Abstract

The reconfiguration time of a holographic beam-shaping device using a liquidcrystal spatial light modulator (SLM) has been drastically decreased by fiveorders of magnitude to reach the microsecond range (~5 µs). Themethod involves an acousto-optic modulator (AOM) placed in front of the SLMwhich points the laser beam towards different pre-addressed regions of theliquid crystal plate. Because the addressing signal is not changed, thereconfiguration time is mainly governed by the AOM response time. Moreover,this method allows us to clean up the transient regime by suppressing the bleedeffect usually observed in the standard SLM reconfiguration.
