<p>Abstract Today spatial light modulators are built using either Liquid Crystal on Silicon (LCOS) or a series of high precision mechanical actuators. The former can modulate signals at up to around 60Hz, while the latter can achieve speed of between 3 and 8 kHz. This device is a mechanical solution which provides the encoding predetermined mSequences at much faster rates, specifically in the Megahertz range. The approach is based on new advances in precision lathe technology. A large reflective disc has the outer edges of its front surface machined to contain predetermined mSequences (or any other desired code) in a series of closely spaced concentric circles.
