This paper discusses how the Spatial Light Modulator (SLM) works in different research papers and how diverse its use can be. The two research papers use the SLM in completely different ways, making it optimal to show its diversity. The SLM becomes a new tool to help work on optical research.
Paper 1 “Observation of quantum entanglement using spatial light modulators,” the paper uses Liquid Crystals as the medium in the Alignment Layer. It demonstrates the SLM effectiveness in quantum entanglement and how accurately it can capture quantum entangled photons.
Paper 2 “Electro-optic polymer spatial light modulator based on a Fabry–Perot interferometer configuration,” the paper evaluates the best alignment medium for a high speed requirement, the research search shows Electro-optic was preferred over Liquid Crystal (LC), but not ideal.
