pySLM2: A full-stack python package for holographic beam shaping

Holographic beam shaping using spatial light modulators (SLMs) as a reprogrammable hologram offers a powerful tool for precise and flexible optical controls.It has been adopted for a wide range of researches, including atom trapping (Gaunt & Hadzibabic, 2012), optical addressing of individual quantum objects (Motlakunta et al., 2024), preparation of exotic quantum states (Islam et al., 2015), and multi-beam laser machining (Obata et al., 2010).pySLM2 is a python package designed for holographic beam shaping applications, encompassing hologram generation, simulation, and hardware controls.
