Abstract

We experimentally demonstrate spatial light modulation based on graded-index plasma channels induced by femtosecond pulses. The spatial profile of the probe beam can be conveniently controlled by adjusting the intensity distribution of the pump beam or by changing the relative position between pump beam and probe beam. We also show that the modulation depth of the probe beam can be controlled by adjusting the power of the pump beam.
