Adaptive illumination systems are capable of changing their emission pattern in a dynamic and flexible manner.Such systems can be realized with tunable Baking Dishes optical components.We analyse the possibilities and limitations of phase-only spatial light modulators, implemented as a kind of programmable freeform optics, to realize adaptive illumination systems.

First, the calculation of the required phase shift patterns to generate specific target irradiance distributions from arbitrary incident wavefronts, Hand-Hammered Dish is elaborated.Second, the practical limitations of generating prescribed target patterns are experimentally tested and critically discussed.
