Hamamatsu SLM Connection and LUT

[Junxin25]

Right now, I am using a Hamamatsu Spatial Light Modular. According the variance of the wavelength, I should modify the input signal level for2π modulation. I do not find the API in the slmsuite package for the Hamamatsu instrument. Could anyone can help me?

Hi @Junxin25 ,

I do not find the API in the slmsuite package for the Hamamatsu instrument.

What is the model number for your Hamamatsu SLM? In slmsuite there are two options for control:

• In DVI-mode, the SLM will appear as a secondary display on your system. You can project patterns via the ScreenMirrored interface.
• If you have a modern Hamamatsu SLM, you can control via the Hamamatsu USB interface.

According the variance of the wavelength, I should modify the input signal level for2π modulation.

If you operating wavelength is different from the wavelength the SLM was designed for, you can compensate for this by setting wav_um and wav_design_um respectively. (see this link). I don't believe that Hamamatsu SLMs have lookup table (LUT) capability.

Let me know if this solves your issue!

Hi @ichristen ,
I'm so glad to receive your quick reply. Right now, I'm using the hamamatsu 13138-01. According to the technical support from hamamatsu, I have resolved this problem.
Thank you for your help.
