allows us to adjust the phase of each separate frequency of a laser lightallows us to adjust the phase of each separate frequency of a laser lightpulse. Using a device called an SLM, Spatial Light Modifier, we were able topulse. Using a device called an SLM, Spatial Light Modifier, we were able toapply different voltages to each pixel on a liquid crystal screen. Each pixelapply different voltages to each pixel on a liquid crystal screen. Each pixelcorresponds to a different frequency of light. When we apply the differentcorresponds to a different frequency of light. When we apply the differentvoltages, we change the phase of each frequency, our goal is to make thevoltages, we change the phase of each frequency, our goal is to make thephase of each frequency the same. Then applying a Fourier Transform wephase of each frequency the same. Then applying a Fourier Transform wewere able to see how this phase shift changed the timewere able to see how this phase shift changed the time--dependence of thedependence of thepulse. Our goal is to be able to control the pulse as we choose, thus makingpulse. Our goal is to be able to control the pulse as we choose, thus making
