Spatial light modulator system

摘要

There is provided an optical system for a spatial light modulator. The system comprises a light source for emitting an unpolarized light, a separator for separating a first linearly polarized light having a specified plane of polarization from the unpolarized light and polarizer for rotating the plane of polarization of the first linearly polarized light at a specified angle different from the specified angle to obtain a second linearly polarized light, wherein the second linearly polarized light is adopted as a reading light. Also provided is a method of photomodulation, comprising the steps of separating a light in the region of a specified wavelength from an unpolarized light, separating a first linearly polarized light having a specified plane of polarization from the light and obtaining a second linearly polarized light by rotating the plane of polarization of the first linearly polarized light at a specified angle.
