Performance of a high-resolution wavefront control system using a liquid crystal spatial light modulator

We have developed a high-resolution wavefront control system based on an optically addressed nematic liquid crystal spatial light modulator with several hundred thousand phase control points, a Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor with two thousand subapertures, and an efficient reconstruction algorithm using Fourier transform techniques. We present quantitative results of experiments to characterize the performance of this system.© (2000) COPYRIGHT SPIE--The International Society for Optical Engineering.
