A deep learning model was built to optimize the phase flicker performance for given pulse width modulation (PWM) driving patterns of a liquid crystal on silicon (LCOS) device. 10-bit phase modulation was physically realized with a phase flicker of 0.055% over 1024 addressed phase levels in respect to the total modulation range of 2π and a separation probability of 62.63% for the phase to stay within its level without overlapping with the adjacent ones. The spatial information bandwidth of the full high-definition (HD) LCOS device at 100 Hz was improved by 25%, from ~1.6 Gb/sec to ~2 Gb/sec.

Liquid-Crystal-On-Silicon (LCOS) Spatial Light Modulator (SLM) is widely used as a programmable adaptive optical element in many laser processing applications with various wavelength light sources. We report UV durable liquid-crystal-on-silicon spatial light modulators for one-shot laser material processing. Newly developed LCOS consists of UV transparent materials and shows a lifetime 480 times longer than the conventional one in 9.7 W/cm2 illumination at 355 nm. We investigated the durability of polymerization inhibitor mixed liquid crystal in order to extend its lifetime.
