Specific embodiment
To enable those skilled in the art to be further understood that the present invention, this hair is explained in detail below in conjunction with attached drawing Bright specific embodiment.It should be noted that attached drawing is only for the purpose of description, and map not according to original size.
The structural schematic diagram of the negative liquid crystal reflective spatial light modulator provided in an embodiment of the present invention of attached drawing 1, the negativity Liquid crystal reflective spatial light modulator include polarizing film, top glass substrate, upper transparent flat electrode, upper oriented layer, liquid crystal layer, under Oriented layer, reflecting layer, lower glass substrate;Liquid crystal layer uses the nematic liquid crystal of negativity, and vertically oriented, with a thickness of d;Institute Stating polarizing film is rotatable type polarizing film with a scale, i.e. the polarization direction of polarizing film is controllable, and rotatory polarization piece realizes amplitude modulation With the switching of phase-only modulation;The upper transparent flat electrode is made of transparent conductive material;The reflecting layer uses The aluminium film of high reflectance makes, and surface is made of diffusive reflective film, and driving voltage is applied on metallic reflector;? When applying voltage on metallic reflector, liquid crystal molecule can gradually be parallel to lower glass substrate;When long axis of liquid crystal molecule and polarization When the polarization axle of piece is parallel, the polarised light into liquid crystal layer is propagated along the optical axis direction of liquid crystal molecule, and incident light is not sent out Life is birefringent, changes the voltage being applied on metallic reflector, only changes the phase of incident light, the negative liquid crystal is anti-at this time The formula spatial light modulator of penetrating works in pure phase bit pattern;When rotatory polarization piece, changes the polarization direction of polarizing film, make incident light There are initial angle theta (0 < θ < 90 °), incident light, which enters liquid crystal layer, can occur birefringent for polarization direction and long axis of liquid crystal molecule, enter It penetrates light light intensity to be divided into two, and angle theta is bigger in adjustable extent, the birefringence level of incident light is bigger, described at this time Negative liquid crystal reflective spatial light modulator works in amplitude modulation mode.
