  • System and method for pulse-width modulating a phase-only spatial light modulator
    Patent number: 9918053
    Abstract: A method of pulse width modulating a spatial light modulator comprises determining a modulation sequence and applying the modulation sequence to the spatial light modulator in a time order method. The modulation sequence comprises a plurality of minor modulation segments. Each minor modulation segment comprises an always-on modulation segment in an always-on state. The plurality of minor modulation segments are temporally spaced such that the always-on modulation segments are spaced at predetermined intervals. Each minor modulation segment comprises at least one thermometer bit.

  • System And Method For Pulse-Width Modulating A Phase-Only Spatial Light Modulator
    Publication number: 20160077367
    Abstract: The present application provides a method of pulse width modulating a spatial light modulator. The method comprises determining a modulation sequence and applying said modulation sequence to said spatial light modulator in a time order method. Said modulation sequence comprises a plurality of minor modulation segments. Each minor modulation segment comprises an “always on” modulation segment in an “always on” state. Said plurality of minor modulation segments are temporally spaced such that said “always on” modulation segments are spaced at predetermined intervals. Each minor modulation segment comprises at least one thermometer bit.
