0the middle T/2 place of composite space photomodulator and the 3rd liquid crystal on silicon chip 8 will be positioned at.This design ensure that light beam has approximately uniform spot size on the 3rd liquid crystal on silicon chip 8 and composite space photomodulator, makes the ability of all parts can obtain best performance, thus realizes the optimization of overall performance.Adopt 4K × 2K pixel count LCoS chip, due to the reduction of Pixel Dimensions, the beam-pointing ability of LCoS doubles.Adopt the LCoS set-up mode of a=15.36mm, b=8.64mm.Beam-pointing during employing 4K × 2K pixel count LCoS array chip and spot size result of calculation.Optical system parameter is now T=660mm, T

As shown in Fig. 4 (a), liquid crystal on silicon chip is that the phase place by changing incident light realizes optical modulation, according to the principle of blazed grating, liquid crystal on silicon chip can be used to load different position phasors to simulate the modulation of blazed grating to incident light, and concrete operations are exactly make it form periodic phase hologram grating to the periodic voltage that liquid crystal applies suitable size.The maximum advantage of liquid crystal on silicon chip is the parameter such as cycle, blazing angle of change grating that can be real-time, and then changes the blaze wavelength of emergent light, level of glittering time, realizes object controlled flexibly.
Because liquid crystal device is made up of many discrete pixels, this just causes making phase place produce continuous print change when regulating the phase place of light, step-like phase change can only be produced, the Phase Continuation distribution of continuous convergence blazed grating by multiple step changed step by step.Fig. 4 (b) represents the phase grating that liquid crystal simulates, is divided into m the step changed step by step each cycle of phase grating, produce multistage phase outline grating, such light wave will produce the phase differential of 2 π/m by adjacent step, realizes being similar to the phase-modulation of binary echelon grating to incident light; Grating constant is d, and angle of diffraction is θ.Just there occurs when light vertical incidence and stitch Fraunhofer diffraction more, each width is that the small stair of a is equivalent to a slit.
It is finally noted that, the object publicizing and implementing mode is to help to understand the utility model further, but it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that: in the spirit and scope not departing from the utility model and appended claim, various substitutions and modifications are all possible.Therefore, the utility model should not be limited to the content disclosed in embodiment, and the scope that the claimed scope of the utility model defines with claims is as the criterion.
