Phase shifting Interferometry and Wavefront Compensation using Liquid Crystal on Silicon (LCOS) Spatial Light Modulator (SLM)

Optics 2025-06-13 v1

Abstract

We present a simple and novel technique for interferometric surface measurement using a Liquid Crystal on Silicon (LCOS) Spatial Light Modulator (SLM) as phase shifter and wavefront-compensator simultaneously. In comparison to a mechanical piezo-based phase shifter measurement, speed and measurement range can be increased by this approach.
