    Area of Science:

    • Optics and Photonics
    • Materials Science

    Background:

    • Spatial Light Modulators (SLMs) are crucial for optical systems.
    • Accurate phase modulation calibration is essential for SLM performance.
    • Existing calibration methods can be complex and require additional optics.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce a novel, auto-referenced interferometric method for calibrating parallel-aligned liquid crystal (PAL) SLMs.
    • To provide a simpler, more robust, and cost-effective calibration technique.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilizes the SLM itself to generate interfering tilted plane and reference waves.
    • Employs a binary diffraction grating and a piston area on the SLM for wave encoding.
    • Evaluates phase shift for each gray level addressed to the piston section.

    Main Results:

    • The method successfully retrieves phase modulation information across the SLM surface.
    • Results show good agreement when compared to established calibration procedures.
    • Demonstrates high mechanical stability and faster performance.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed auto-referenced interferometric method offers a straightforward and robust approach to SLM phase calibration.
    • It eliminates the need for additional optical components, simplifying practical implementation.
    • This technique is suitable for spatially resolved phase retrieval and improves upon existing methods.
