    摘要: An optical information processor according to the present invention comprises a spatial light modulator 1 illuminated by linearly polarized coherent light and a linear polarization detector element 2 for detecting light diffracted by the spatial light modulator 1, wherein a rotatory polarization element of the spatial light modulator 1 is arranged in such a manner that the direction of the major molecular axis 11 thereof at the incident light side substantially conforms to the linear polarization axis direction (Y-axis direction) of the coherent light and the linear polarization detector element 2 is arranged in such a manner that the detecting axis 21 thereof crosses substantially at right angles with the major polarization axis of the zero-order diffracted light 4 included in the diffracted light described above. As a result, it is possible to effectively reduce the zero-order diffracted light component which is not modulated by the spatial light modulator without increasing the entire length of the optical system so much and without requiring excessive electric circuit or processing time.

    摘要: Disclosed are a beam combining/splitting modulator, a display apparatus including the same, and a spatial light modulation method. The beam combining/splitting modulator includes a light modulator including first and second modulation regions for modulating light, a polarization converter disposed at a side of an emitting surface of the light modulator and including a first transmissive region for polarizing and converting light incident from the first modulation region to have a first polarization and a second transmissive region for polarizing and converting light incident from the second modulation region to have a second polarization, a birefringence modulator disposed at the side of an emitting surface of the polarization converter and switching between a first state in which birefringence occurs and a second state in which birefringence does not occur, and a polarizer disposed at the side of an emitting surface of the birefringence modulator.
