Abstract: An SLM includes a modulation unit and a driving circuit. The modulation unit includes a plurality of pixels, and modulates a phase or an intensity of incident light in each pixel according to an amplitude of a drive signal changing periodically with time. The driving circuit provides the drive signal to the modulation unit. The driving circuit performs control such that a phase of the drive signal V1(t) provided to a first pixel group in the plurality of pixels and a phase of the drive signal V2(t) provided to a second pixel group in the plurality of pixels are mutually inverted.

Abstract: The present embodiment relates to a light-emitting device comprising a reflective metasurface modulating a phase for each of pixels constituting a one- or two-dimensional array. The light-emitting device comprises a surface emitting laser element, a light guide layer, and the metasurface. The metasurface has a light transmissive layer including a dielectric layer, one metal film on one surface thereof, and the other metal film on the other surface thereof. In each of unit regions corresponding to the pixels, the light transmissive layer includes a portion exposed without being covered with the metal film. The width of each unit region and the thickness of the light transmissive layer are smaller than the wavelength of the laser light to the metasurface. The metasurface modulates the phase of the laser light for each unit region. A first light output surface outputs the modulated laser.

Abstract: An optical heterodyne interference measurement apparatus includes a beam generation unit, a beam splitter, a mirror, a first photodetector, a linear polarizer, a second photodetector, a linear polarizer, an AD conversion unit, and a computer. The beam generation unit generates and outputs a first light beam and a second light beam having polarizations orthogonal to each other. The first light beam and the second light beam have optical frequencies different from each other by a heterodyne frequency. The computer sets, when ωp is set to any peak frequency being temporally constant in a frequency spectrum of intensity noise included in the first light beam or the second light beam output from the beam generation unit, the heterodyne frequency ωh to a value of a rational multiple of the peak frequency ωp.

Abstract: A reflective dynamic metasurface of an embodiment comprises a structure enabling phase modulation in each of pixels constituting at least a one-dimensional array. The metasurface includes: a laminated structure body having a transparent conductive layer and a dielectric layer; a first metal film on one surface of the laminated structure body; a second metal film on the other surface of the laminated structure body; and a drive circuit controlling voltage applied between the first and second metal films. The first and second metal films are arranged to sandwich the pixels. The first metal film is arranged to expose a pair of window regions in one pixel, and the second metal film includes partial metal films defining the shape of each pixel and separated from each other. The drive circuit individually controls the potential of each partial metal film, thereby modulating the phase of the input light for each pixel.
