Abstract

We present the implementation of dynamic Diffractive Optical Elements on three different types of commercially available liquid crystal spatial light modulators, each of them featuring a different modulation capability. The one using Twisted-Nematic liquid crystal exhibits coupled amplitude and phase modulation, the one using analog Ferroelectric liquid crystal a pure amplitude modulation and the one using Nematic liquid crystal a pure phase modulation. Based on experimental results, the performance of these three devices is compared.
