A device, system and method for modulating light using a phase light modulator (PLM) and a spatial light modulator (SLM). A device determines a target-destination wave, representative of an image, to be formed at an image plane of the PLM using image data, defining the image for projection, and a random seeding of spatial values of a spatially varying phase of the target-destination wave at the image plane, the image plane located between the PLM and SLM, the SLM and PLM arranged such that light reflected from the PLM illuminates the SLM. The device determines a target-source wave to be formed at the PLM, based on: a free space transfer function between the PLM and the image plane; and the target-destination wave. The device determines, from the target-source wave, a phase map for controlling the PLM to form the image. The device controls the PLM using the phase map.
