HoloBlade: an open-hardware spatial light modulator driver platform for holographic displays.Spatial light modulators (SLMs) are key research tools in several contemporary applied optics research domains.  We introduce HoloBlade, an open-hardware implementation of an SLM driver-stack, and provide a detailed exposition of HoloBlade's architecture, key components, and detailed design.  An optical verification rig is constructed to demonstrate that HoloBlade can provide Fourier imaging capability in a 4f system.  Finally, we discuss HoloBlade's future development roadmap and the opportunities that it presents as a research tool for applied optics.
