OASLM Dev-Kit
The OASLM Development Kit is a turnkey set-up to start working with an optically addressed spatial light modulator right away: an OASLM-VIS, its HOA-20K electrical driver, the LC-PROJ programmable light projector that writes the images, and the software.
Images, videos or live frames computed in Python are projected on the OASLM by the LC-PROJ and transferred in real time, as a phase or intensity pattern, onto the reading beam.
Everything is delivered in a carrying case with cables, power supplies, mechanical mounts and documentation, ready to be placed on the optical table.

- Internal battery: 8 h without mains power
LC-PROJ projector
- LED projector with an integrated, factory-calibrated liquid-crystal modulator
- Blue LED (470 nm), linearly polarized output
- 1920 × 1080 pixels, 35 mm spot
- HDMI: seen by the computer as a second monitor
software
- Linux, Windows, macOS

set-up
- The LC-PROJ projects the image (writing light) on the photoconductor of the OASLM
- The reading beam crosses the OASLM and picks up the image as a phase or intensity pattern
- In-line configuration with a dichroic mirror or a polarizing beam splitter
supplied with
