Abstract:
Technologies are generally described for reproducing holographic images by causing a photo-induced change in the diffractive index of a holographic recording medium. An example device may include a light irradiation unit and a transparent substrate. The light irradiation unit can be configured to transmit a photo-inducing light. Further, the transparent substrate may have a predetermined refractive index and can be configured to include a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface. The first surface can be configured to receive an incident light, and the second surface can be configured to receive the photo-inducing light. The transparent substrate can be configured to form interference fringe patterns from a photo-induced change in the refractive index of the transparent substrate responsive to the photo-induced light.

Abstract:
A holographic image display system comprises a screen, a first and a second light source, a scanning mechanism, and a controller. The screen includes a photochromic material arranged thereon. The photochromic material has light absorption characteristics which change depending on illumination with a wavelength of an ultraviolet light beam. The first light source directs a visible light beam with a sufficiently large diameter onto the screen, whereas the second light source directs an ultraviolet light beam onto the screen through the scanning mechanism. The controller controls emissions and scanning of the ultraviolet light beam based on a holographic signal so that the ultraviolet light beam can be scanned across the screen.
Abstract:
Technologies are generally described for generating an image in a holographic imaging device by causing multiple reflections of a hologram reconstruction light on one side of a display panel in the holographic imaging device. An example device may include a display panel, a semi-transparent mirror layer on the display panel, a mirror layer at a side of the semi-transparent mirror layer opposite to the display panel, and a light irradiation unit opposite to the semi-transparent mirror layer. The light irradiation unit may irradiate a hologram reconstruction light on the semi-transparent mirror layer at a predetermined incident angle. The semi-transparent mirror layer may reflect a portion of the hologram reconstruction light such that the reflected portion of the hologram reconstruction light may be incident on the mirror layer. The semi-transparent mirror layer may transmit the other portion of the hologram reconstruction light to cause interference in the hologram.
