The C-SMDB micro-optics module collimates single-mode diode bars. Its monolithic cylindrical lens array is made through precision glass molding. It has a design wavelength of 970 nm. The effective focal length is 600 μm for the fast-axis collimation and 190 μm for the slow-axis collimation. There are 200 lens elements on each part.

FIGURE 1. In the scalable setting of a spatial photonic Ising machine, binary spins are encoded in the phase of a laser beam (green) by spatial modulation. Tailoring of the beam’s amplitude fixes spin-spin interaction. To find the ground-state spin configuration, the machine recurrently evolves according to a feedback signal from the camera plane. By design, maximizing the intensity in a target region (blue square) corresponds to a spin state with minimum energy.
