Santec AOC Presents SLM-310, LCOS-based Spatial Light Modulator for 1kW Near-infrared Laser Manufacturing
The SLM-310, a groundbreaking liquid crystal on silicon (LCOS)-based spatial light modulator, has been developed by Santec AOC Corporation. This new product is designed to revolutionize high-power industrial laser processing applications, particularly in metal 3D printing (additive manufacturing) and precision laser processing [2][3][4].
The SLM-310 offers a new standard in laser modulation for industrial users, significantly enhancing precision and processing efficiency. By minimizing thermal effects on materials during metal processing, the SLM-310 ensures better part quality and productivity [2][4].
One of the key features of the SLM-310 is its ability to handle up to 1kW of laser power, twice the light tolerance of its predecessors. It is designed to withstand 1kW-class laser power in the near-infrared spectrum (1-micrometer band) [2][3]. This high power capacity allows for more accurate and controlled processing, especially in demanding metal 3D printing processes such as laser powder bed fusion [2][4].
The SLM-310 also offers a high resolution of WUXGA (1920 x 1200), with 2.3 million pixels. This high resolution enables enhanced patterning and shaping of laser irradiation, contributing to better part quality and potentially reducing post-processing steps [2][3][4].
In addition, the SLM-310 surpasses typical 8-bit models with a high phase resolution of 10-bit (1024 levels), providing more precise control over laser beams during manufacturing processes [2][4]. This advanced control is crucial for achieving high-precision results in metal 3D printing and other high-precision laser manufacturing workflows.
The SLM-310 also supports advanced laser processing techniques not achievable with traditional galvanometer scanner technology [2][4]. This makes it an ideal choice for industries seeking to push the boundaries of what is possible with laser processing.
