    We explored diffractive optical elements on liquid-crystal spatial light modulators. Coupling amplitude and phase offers a trade-off, but phase-only elements can achieve satisfactory performance.

    Area of Science:

    • Optics and Photonics
    • Materials Science

    Background:

    • Diffractive optical elements (DOEs) are crucial for manipulating light.
    • Liquid-crystal spatial light modulators (SLMs) offer dynamic control over optical wavefronts.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the optical implementation of DOEs on electrically addressed SLMs.
    • To compare amplitude-only, phase-only, and coupled phase-amplitude (spiral) domains.
    • To analyze the trade-offs between diffraction efficiency and signal-to-noise ratio.

    Main Methods:

    • Implementation of DOEs on amplitude-only, phase-only, and spiral SLM domains.
    • Analysis of diffraction efficiency and signal-to-noise ratio.
    • Investigation of maximum dephasing effects using optimal trade-off design.

    Main Results:

    • Coupling phase and amplitude in spiral domains introduces a trade-off between diffraction efficiency and signal-to-noise ratio.
    • Phase-only domains with limited maximum dephasing demonstrate satisfactory performance.
    • Optical implementations validated the theoretical findings.

    Conclusions:

    • Phase-only SLM domains provide a viable and effective method for DOE implementation.
    • Optimal trade-off design is key for maximizing performance with limited dephasing.
    • The study contributes to the advancement of dynamic optical element design.
