Spatial light modulator (SLM) is a general term describing devices that are used to modulate
amplitude, phase, or polarization of light waves in space and time. Current SLM–based …

The fringing field effect of liquid-crystal displays causes a crosstalk between neighboring
pixels, so that a desired sharp phase edge gets blurred. This blurring effect influences the …

Dynamic holography using spatial light modulators is a very flexible technique that offers
various new applications compared to static holography. We give an overview on the …

Programmable colored illumination microscopy (PCIM) has been proposed as a flexible
optical staining technique for microscopic contrast enhancement. In this method, we replace …

We experimentally demonstrate that a Bessel-like amplitude modulated spiral phase filter
can be used in a real-time spatial image edge enhancement system in optical microscopy …

Incoherent correlation microscopy is recently discovered technique for digital imaging of
three-dimensional objects in a quasi-monochromatic spatially incoherent light. Its operation …

In spiral phase contrast (SPC) microscopy the edge-enhancement is typically independent
of the helicity of the phase vortex filter. Here we show that for layered specimens containing …

Spatial light modulators (SLM) are devices used to modulate amplitude, phase or
polarization of a light wave in space and time. Current SLMs are based either on MEMS …

In various microscopy applications spatial light modulators (SLMs) are used as
programmable Fourier filters to realize different optical contrast enhancement methods. It is …

Quantitative phase microscopy (QPM) has emerged as a viable technique for investigating
biological and biomedical samples in its natural environment. Contrary to well established …
