title: General analytic solution for far-field phase and amplitude control, with a phase-only spatial light modulator.
abstract: We present an analytical solution for the phase introduced by a phase-only spatial light modulator to generate far-field phase and amplitude distributions within a domain of interest. The solution is demonstrated experimentally and shown to enable excellent control of the far-field amplitude and phase.
