Abstract

Spatio-temporal processing of ultrashort pulses with high-performance liquid-crystal-on-silicon spatial light modulators (LCoS-SLMs) is reported. Addressable arrays of needle beams and light blades enable for nondiffracting image transfer, tailoring interaction zones, wavefront autocorrelation and phase encoding.
