Abstract :
Here we present experimental results on shaping non-uniform arrays of microscopic- sized beams from few-cycle laser pulses with such LCoS-SLMs. To conclude, programming flexibility and temporal transfer of LCoS-SLMs were demonstrated for 2D shaping of non-uniform arrays of few-cycle Ti:sapphire laser pulses.
