ABSTRACT:
A system and method is presented for obtaining optical phase and amplitude measurements utilizing an acousto-optical modulator for modulating a laser light beam with a multifrequency electrical signal to form an image that is Fourier transformed and spatially distributed proportional to the frequency components of the electrical signal. An optical component such as a spatial light modulator is located in the Fourier plane and the modulated image is inversely transformed and optically heterodyned to produce a transformed image. The transformed image impinges a photodetector that produces an electrical output signal that is inputted to a network analyzer to measure phase and amplitude of the transformed image. The electrical output signal is compared with a reference signal and deviations from the reference signal provide a quantitative measurement of the phase and amplitude response of the spatial light modulator.
