Liquid Crystal Based Spatial Light Modulator

High Speed model / SLM-210

SLM-210 series are our latest High speed model withsignificantly improved response time as a highperformance product which uses its second generation
LCOS technology. SLM-210 is a LCOS-SLM with a
response time of less than 10 ms, which is more than 20times faster than the conventional LCOS-SLM and it isexpected to contribute to the improvement of performancein optical applications such as wavefront correction,
optical beam shaping, biosensing and quantum
computing.
