This article describes a graduate level optics laboratory experiment on the manipulation of the wavefront of a laser beam using a spatial light modulator. A computer generated holography technique is employed to generate a custom defined wavefront, realized in the +1 diffraction order when a collimated laser beam is diffracted by a binary transmission hologram. The hologram is written on a liquid crystal spatial light modulator and can be updated at a video rate using a personal computer interface.
