Liquid Crystal Light Valves

Explore 4 top manufacturers and suppliers of Liquid Crystal Light Valves in our comprehensive photonics buyers' guide.

A liquid crystal light valve, also known as a spatial light modulator, is an optical device that modulates the intensity, phase, or polarization of light passing through it using liquid crystal technology. LCLVs consist of a layer of liquid crystal material sandwiched between transparent substrates with patterned electrodes. When an electric field is applied to the liquid crystal layer, its molecular orientation changes, altering the optical properties of the device. Learn more about liquid crystal light valves →
