An analysis of the popular joint-transform optical correlator is presented for architectures
employing spatial light modulators that operate only on the phase of the coherent light …

We present a method for measuring all eight parameters (including the signs) of the Jones
matrices of liquid-crystal displays. The method can be applied to measure the Jones …

Method and apparatus for testing of LCD panels is disclosed. An LCD panel under test is
mounted to a translatable table between a polarization state generator and polarization state …

The development of liquid-crystal panels for use in commercial equipment has been aimed
at improving the pixel resolution and the display efficiency. These improvements have led to …

We obtain electrically switchable optical complex amplitude modulations with two
commercial twisted nematic liquid crystal televisions (LCTV's) which are in the …

Mueller matrix measurements were used to characterize the polarization properties of liquid
crystal-based reflective type twisted nematic (TN) special light modulator (SLM) at oblique …

In this chapter, we review the use of spatial light modulators SLMs to display reconfigurable
digital holograms capable of modifying and shaping laser beams. In order to achieve this …

Stress in an optical window induces very intriguing and useful polarization effects. In
particular, an applied pressure creates polarization vortices which have the potential to aid …

Liquid crystal televisions (LCTVs) continue to be used as inexpensive spatial light
modulators (SLMs) in coherent optical processing systems. The LCTVs are generally …

A twisted-nematic liquid-crystal display (TN-LCD) placed between two linear polarizers (P)
generally produces coupled intensity and phase modulations. For the purpose of phase-only …
