Abstract
The application of a bistable, binary, amorphous silicon ferroelectric liquid crystal optically addressed spatial light modulator to speckle photography is described. The system presented has a higher space-bandwidth product than a television system and can operate at greater than 500 Hz frame rates. The output is also amenable to further optical processing. The spatial light modulator is characterised for sensitivity, contrast ratio and resolution and speckle correlation fringes from a moving object are successfully obtained. Measurement of displacements in the range 20 μm to 70 μm with an rms error of 3 μm is demonstrated and the suitability of these devices to practical optical metrology is discussed.
