Abstract: A phase and phase/amplitude spatial light modulator arrangement for generating a complex-valued light field with a spatial light modulator, a phase element and an optical system. The phase and amplitude spatial light modulator arrangement is configured to generate a light field that is adjustable in amount and phase. A method realizes operation of a combined spatial light modulator for generating a complex-valued light field. Here, the method includes adapting an optical characteristic in several areas of a phase element. A further method realizes operation of an optical arrangement for modulating different light wavelengths by adjusting several wave influences in several areas of a phase modulator. A last method realizes operation of an optical arrangement by adjusting an amplitude spatial light modulator for modulating light intensities in at least two optical paths.

Abstract: The invention concerns an intraocular lens device which is used in particular for treatment of diseases of the central retina (macula) with retinal areas which are still healthy. The main principle of the invention at hand is that a lens device is provided for the redirection of the focal point from an area with impaired retinal function to a functioning area which comprises at least one convex lens element and several wedge-shaped recesses. Surprisingly it was found that a considerable reduction of the thickness of the lens device is thus achievable when several wedge-shaped recesses are provided.
