Distortion Mapping – An SVD HowTo
In this tech-talk, I would like to discuss how (and probably how not to) develop an optical distortion correction. It is a common optical problem, and one that actually can be compensated using an algorithm because, even if the image is distorted, it can still free from wavefront aberrations. I guess the title spills the…

HowTo: Spatial Light Modulators
About This Tech-Talk Spatial light modulators (SLMs) are active optical components that can alter a light beam’s amplitude, phase, or polarization. For this tech-talk, I’ll focus on a specific subset: those that achieve this using a pixelated, two-dimensional array. While this doesn’t cover all types of SLMs, it’s a sufficiently large and interesting category to…
