Applications
Technology for many industrial, medical and consumer markets.
Silicon Light Machines’ thin-film MEMS technology enables high-speed, high-power phase and amplitude modulators for use in a wide variety of applications in industrial, medical and consumer markets.
First, the borderless pixels and high-contrast, true grayscale modulation was used in beautiful projector display systems. These same attributes along with high-power handling are now used in graphic arts and maskless lithography.
The linear PLV large pixels allow for higher powers and fluences, which enables super high-throughput, high-resolution systems for multi spot laser material processing such as laser marking and 3D printing. New applications for phase modulators are emerging that require the unique attributes of the thin-film MEMS: 100kHz+ frame rates, high-power handling and UV-NIR wavelength handling. These new applications range from high-power beam forming for industrial applications to high-speed holographic control for sensing and free-space optical communication.
