1. An optical processing method comprising:

  • receiving an optical signal from an optical system, wherein the optical signal is distorted by frequency-dependent polarization effects in the optical system;

    spatially dispersing frequency components of the distorted optical signal on a spatial light modulator (SLM); and

    independently adjusting the polarization transfer matrix of multiple regions of the SLM to reduce the distortion of the optical signal.
