Definition

The term, in context

AI-assisted draft · approved dataset

An Optically Addressed Metasurface SLM is a spatial light modulator that uses a nanostructured metasurface, an array of sub-wavelength optical elements, to shape the phase or amplitude of a light beam, with the modulation pattern written onto the device optically by a separate control beam rather than through an electronic pixel grid.
