Abstract
An exemplary device can be provided which can include, for example, a radiation source(s) configured to generate a first radiation(s), a spatial light modulator (SLM) arrangement(s) configured to receive the first radiation(s) and generate a second radiation(s) based on the first radiation(s), and a galvanometer(s) configured to receive the second radiation(s), generate a third radiation(s) based on the second radiation(s), and provide the third radiation(s) to a sample(s).
Claims21
A device, comprising:
- at least one radiation source configured to generate at least one first radiation;
- at least one spatial light modulator (SLM) arrangement configured to receive the at least one first radiation and generate at least one second radiation based on the at least one first radiation, wherein the at least one SLM arrangement includes:
- a SLM configured to generate the at least one second radiation;
- a pre-SLM afocal telescope configured to resize the at least one first radiation to match an area of the SLM;
- a plurality of folding mirrors configured to redirect the at least one first radiation to the pre-SLM afocal telescope;
- and
- a post SLM afocal telescope configured to resize the at least one second radiation to match a size of an acceptance aperture of the at least one galvanometer;
- and
- at least one galvanometer configured to receive the at least one second radiation, generate at least one third radiation based on the at least one second radiation, and provide the at least one third radiation to at least one sample.

A method, comprising:
- generating at least one radiation;
- directing the at least one radiation to a pre-spatial light modulator (SLM) afocal telescope using a plurality of folding mirrors;
- resizing the at least one redirected radiation using the pre-SLM afocal telescope to match an area of at least one (SLM);
- splitting the at least one resized radiation into a plurality of radiation beamlets using the at least one SLM;
- resizing the radiation beamlets to match a size of an acceptance aperture of at least one galvanometer;
- and
- directing the radiation beamlets to at least one sample using the at least one galvanometer.
