The PLUTO phase only Spatial Light Modulator (SLM) consists of a driver unit with standard digital video interface (DVI or HDMI) and a phase only LCOS (Liquid Crystal on Silicon) microdisplay with full HD resolution (1920 x 1080 pixel) and 8 µm pixel pitch leading to an active area diagonal of 0.7” with aspect ratio of 16:9.

The PLUTO SLM is a plug & play phase modulator device and can be addressed with phase functions via standard graphics cards as extended monitor device. The green color channel of the video signal is used for addressing 8 bit gray level patterns (the SLMs native resolution need to be addressed).

The PLUTO-VIS-006-A version features an AR coating with front reflection less than 0.5% in the 420 – 700 nm range. Using high retardation LC material the PLUTO-VIS-006-A provides a max. phase shift up to ~ 6π (dependent on wavelength).
