    Area of Science:

    • Optics and photonics
    • Adaptive optics systems

    Background:

    • Multi-segment liquid crystal spatial light modulators (LC-SLMs) are increasingly used for wavefront control.
    • These devices function similarly to piston-only segmented deformable mirrors.
    • High-precision wavefront control is crucial for astronomical and non-astronomical applications.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the efficacy of multi-segment LC-SLMs with Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensors.
    • To explore the application of a zonal control algorithm for wavefront correction using LC-SLMs.
    • To leverage high-speed matrix multiply hardware for wavefront control.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilizing multi-segment liquid crystal spatial light modulators.
    • Employing a Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor for wavefront measurement.
    • Implementing a zonal wavefront control algorithm for real-time correction.

    Main Results:

    • Demonstrated the feasibility of using LC-SLMs with Shack-Hartmann sensors.
    • Showcased the advantages of a zonal algorithm for high-speed wavefront control.
    • Validated the system's performance with available high-speed matrix multiply hardware.

    Conclusions:

    • Multi-segment LC-SLMs are effective wavefront control devices.
    • Zonal algorithms offer a high-speed alternative to modal algorithms for LC-SLM wavefront control.
    • The integration of LC-SLMs, Shack-Hartmann sensors, and zonal control shows promise for advanced optical systems.
