Abstract
An optical module (A) includes a polarization beam splitter (A) having a light splitting surface (), polarization elements (), and respectively arranged on an optical path of a first polarization component (L) transmitted through the light splitting surface () and an optical path of a second polarization component (L) reflected by the light splitting surface (), a reflective SLM () that modulates and reflects the first polarization component (L) passing through the polarization element (), and a reflective SLM () that modulates and reflects the second polarization component (L) passing through the polarization element (). The first modulation light (L) passing through the polarization element () again and then reflected by the light splitting surface () and the second modulation light (L) passing through the polarization element () again and then transmitted through the light splitting surface () are combined with each other.
