Mimicking a piston‐type deformable mirror on a spatial light modulator

Abstract

The number of mirror segments, the geometry of the mirror, and its orientation are crucial factors in evaluating the beam-shaping abilities of deformable mirrors. In this study, we employ a Liquid Crystal on Silicon Spatial Light Modulator (LCoS-SLM) to replicate the mechanical configuration of a deformable mirror. We quantitatively analyze how the number of mirror segments and their geometric arrangement influence the resulting structured modes. Our methodology can serve as a preliminary assessment tool before developing a deformable mirror for high-power beam shaping.
