The utility model provides an observation device for imaging of a
spatial light modulator, and particularly relates to the technical field of
optics, the observation device for imaging of the
spatial light modulator comprises a reflection unit, a transmission unit, a switching
assembly and a camera, the transmission unit comprises a first polaroid, a second polaroid, a first surface
light source and a transmission placing platform; the reflection unit comprises a
prism, a second surface
light source arranged on one side of the
prism and a reflection placing platform; a transmission type
liquid crystal light valve and a reflection type
liquid crystal light valve are fixed to the transmission placing platform and the reflection placing platform respectively, and the switching
assembly is used for switching so that the camera can sequentially align to the first polaroid, the transmission placing platform, the second polaroid and the first area
light source, or the camera can sequentially align to the
prism and the reflection placing platform. According to the utility model, the switching
assembly is used for switching different light paths, so that the detection of different types of
liquid crystal light valves can be completed, and the superiority of different types of spatial light modulators can be judged.
