文摘

We have set up a novel system for shaping the Gaussian laser beams into super-Gaussian beams. The digital micro-mirror device (DMD) is able to modulate the laser light spatially through binary-amplitude modulation mechanism. With DMD, the irradiance of the laser beam can be redistributed flexibly and various beams with different intensity distribution can be produced. A super-Gaussian beam has been successfully shaped from the Gaussian beam with the use of DMD. This technique will be widely applied in lithography, quantum emulation and holographic optical tweezers which require precise control of beam profile.
