The SLM-310 is a 1 kW-class LCOS (Liquid Crystal on Silicon)-based spatial light modulator compatible with near-infrared laser sources around 1 μm.
It is designed for advanced industrial applications such as precision laser processing and metal 3D printing. The SLM-310 combines LCOS technology with newly developed liquid crystal materials offering high light resistance.
It contributes to improved processing accuracy, enhanced efficiency through high-speed beam shaping, simultaneous irradiation of multiple spots and areas, and minimized thermal effects on materials. When integrated into laser processing machines - including welding, hole drilling, and cutting systems - or metal 3D printers, it enables more precise and reliable processing.
