A spatial light modulator (SLM) is a device that can control the intensity, phase, or polarization of light in a spatially varying manner. A simple example is an overhead projector transparency . Usually when the term SLM is used, it means that the transparency can be controlled by a computer .
An optical modulator is a device which is used to modulate a beam of light. The beam may be carried over free space, or propagated through an optical waveguide ( optical fibre ). Depending on the parameter of a light beam which is manipulated, modulators may be categorized into amplitude modulators, phase modulators, polarization modulators, etc.
An electro-optic modulator (EOM) is an optical device in which a signal-controlled element exhibiting an electro-optic effect is used to modulate a beam of light. The modulation may be imposed on the phase , frequency , amplitude , or polarization of the beam.
Warning vs. watch vs. advisory: What do they mean? The National Weather Service issues winter weather advisories, watches and warnings when snow and ice threaten your area.
Indonesians mark 2 decades since the tragic tsunami that killed hundreds of thousands. Weather. Associated Press. Indonesia conmemora 20 años del devastador tsunami que mató a cientos de miles.
Reality TV producer Mark Burnett ('The Apprentice," "The Voice," and "Survivor") was named the UK special envoy by President-elect Donald Trump.
An acousto-optic modulator (AOM), also called a Bragg cell or an acousto-optic deflector (AOD), uses the acousto-optic effect to diffract and shift the frequency of light using sound waves (usually at radio-frequency). They are used in lasers for Q-switching, telecommunications for signal modulation, and in spectroscopy for frequency control.
Federal Signal Modulators (also known as Modulator Speaker Arrays) are electronic warning devices produced by Federal Signal Corporation that are used to alert the public about tornadoes, severe weather, earthquakes, fires, lahars, tsunamis, or any other disaster. They are identified mostly by their distinctive stacked "flying saucer" design.
