Summary

In modern optical processing and display applications, there are increased needs of a real-time device and such a device is called a spatial light modulator (SLM). Typical examples of SLMs are acousto-optics modulators (AOMs), electro-optic modulators (EOMs) and liquid crystal displays. In this chapter, we will concentrate on these types of modulators and discuss their uses, such as phase modulation and intensity modulation, in information processing.
