Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
Spatial light modulator (SLM) is a modern device extensively used for laser beam shaping. Over the years, its quality has been significantly improved. Nevertheless, there is still a need to correct its imperfections. In this paper we propose two criteria which allow to examine correction effectiveness of SLM. One is based on the Laguerre-Gauss transform and the second uses optical vortex dynamics which exposes a high sensitivity to any beam imperfections. It is based on the vortex internal scanning method, where the shape of vortex trajectory provides information about SLM correction quality. In this paper we test its sensitivity to astigmatism, which was introduced manually by SLM, after proper correction.
