摘要：

The study of the temporal performance of a nematic liquid crystal phase modulator with 69 phase retardance cells is presented. The change of Strehl ratio for defocus under static and dynamic conditions is discussed. It is observed that the rate of arbitrary phase modulation is limited to about 1.7 Hz with this device. Finally, suggestions for improving the bandwidth are given. (C) 1997 Published by Elsevier Science B.V.
