Abstract

Structured light has become topical of late, allowing custom optical fields to be tailored in all degrees of freedom, and finding applications that include optical trapping and tweezing, microscopy, communications and even quantum protocols. Commonly, the light is tailored in its spatial degrees of freedom for arbitrary polarization, amplitude and phase control, executed on spatial light modulators. This invited talk will outline the role of digital micro-mirror devices (DMDs) in the creation, control and detection of structured light fields, covering fundamentals for “getting started” to the state-of-the-art in real-time control with high speed and fidelity. The talk will cover topics ranging from lasers to single photons, highlighting the versatility of the DMD toolkit.
