  • Patent number: 11665324
    Abstract: A method for displaying a modified phase mask on a spatial light modulator (SLM), including: modifying, by a processor, a phase mask by combining the phase mask with a virtual lens pattern, the virtual lens pattern having a focal length; displaying, by the SLM in communication with the processor, the modified phase mask on the SLM; and projecting, by a light source in communication with the processor, the light source through the SLM to form an intensity pattern at a distance from the SLM corresponding to the focal length of the virtual lens pattern, the intensity pattern being based on the phase mask.
