[0032] Step 2, adjust the angles of the λ / 2 wave plate 3 and the λ / 4 wave plate 8 respectively, so that the λ / 2 wave plate 3 is 22.5° to the fast axis, and the λ / 4 wave plate 8 is -45° to the fast axis; Both the λ / 2 wave plate 3 and the λ / 4 wave plate 8 are multi-stage wave plates, the λ / 2 wave plate 3 is installed in front of the SLM7, and the λ / 4 wave plate 8 is installed...

Embodiment 3

[0036] Embodiment 3: The present invention provides a laser flexible micromachining method based on a liquid crystal spatial light modulator, comprising the following steps:

[0037] Step 1. First, use the SLM control software to generate a gray-scale mask map of the anti-Gaussian distribution and simulate the binary grating, and then use the drawing software to add the pattern that needs to be shaped into the binary grating to form a mask map, such as Figure 4 shown. The adjustment range of the grayscale of the mask image is 0-255, and at the same time, the grayscale value of the graphics in the shaping area is adjusted to 0, and the grayscale values ​​of the binary grating are respectively 0 and 105.

[0038] Step 2, load the grayscale mask image of the inverse Gaussian distribution obtained in step 1 onto the SLM6, load the mask image containing the simulated binary grating onto the SLM7, and move the position of the mask image so that the center of the image is aligned wi...
