Abstract

We propose a novel spatial light modulator (SLM) characterization method based on ellipsometric techniques, in which the Jones matrix describing the SLM polarization capabilities can be obtained and then used for any arbitrary configuration of the device. We have used it to characterize a reflecting SLM (analogue ferroelectric liquid crystal from Boulder Nonlinear Systems).
