Technology

Grating Light Valve (GLV®)

GLV® is a high-performance MEMS device used to modulate or deflect light through diffraction.

GLV®

Planar Light Valve (PLV)

PLV is a 2D version of the GLV® spatial light modulator with a larger illuminated area and more power per pixel.

PLV™

Displacement Phase Modulator (DPM)

Non-contact ribbon or piston optical phase modulators steer and shape laser beams for a wide range of applications.

DPM™

Company

Silicon Light Machines designs and manufactures robust MEMS solutions for industry in the heart of Silicon Valley.

Who is Silicon Light Machines?

Our company's name reflects its Grating Light Valve (GLV®) core: Silicon for materials, Light for optics, and Machines for mechanics.

About SLM

SLM Milestones

Silicon Light Machines (“SLM”) began in 1994 as Echelle Inc. with the goal of commercializing the GLV® for high-resolution display.
