    摘要: A method for encoding complex-valued signals of a computer-generated hologram into a phase-modulating optical element for the reconstruction of a three-dimensional object, and to a computer program product for encoding complex-valued signals of a computer-generated hologram, and to a holographic display for the reconstruction of a three-dimensional object. The object is to reduce the effort on encoding a complex-valued spatial distribution by an iteration method on the basis of phase encoding, so that the computer-generated hologram resulting therefrom can be represented more rapidly and with the same or an improved reconstruction quality. In particular, the convergence during the iterative optimization is intended to be accelerated. This is achieved by a method in which degrees of freedom of the hologram plane as well as the reconstruction plane are used for optimizing the iteration method for rapid convergence and maximization of the diffraction efficiency in the signal range.

    摘要: A holographic projector includes a spatial light modulator, a light receiving member and a driver. The spatial light modulator is arranged to receive and represent a computer-generated hologram and spatially modulate light incident on the spatial light modulator to form a holographic reconstruction in accordance with the computer-generated hologram. The light receiving member is arranged to receive spatially modulated light along an optical axis from the spatial light modulator and the holographic reconstruction is formed on the light receiving member. The driver is coupled to the light receiving member to move the light receiving member in a plane. The driver is configured to move the light receiving member while maintaining an orientation of the light receiving member relative to the spatial light modulator substantially constant.

    摘要: Systems and methods for performing coherent diffraction in an optical device are disclosed. An optical device may include a grating medium with a first hologram having a first grating frequency. A second hologram at least partially overlapping the first hologram may be provided in the grating medium. The second hologram may have a second grating frequency that is different from the first grating frequency. The first and second holograms may be pair-wise coherent with each other. A manufacturing system may be provided that writes the pair-wise coherent holograms in a grating medium using a signal beam and a reference beam. Periscopes may redirect portions of the signal and reference beams towards a partial reflector, which combines the beams and provides the combined beam to a detector. A controller may adjust an effective path length difference between the signal and reference beams based on a measured interference pattern.

    摘要: There is provided a holographic projector comprising a processing engine, spatial light modulator (403B), light source (401B) and light-receiving surface (405B). The processing engine outputs a computer-generated diffractive pattern defining a propagation distance to an image plane. The spatial light modulator displays the computer-generated diffractive pattern. The light source illuminates the spatial light modulator at an angle of incidence (theta) greater than zero. The light-receiving surface receives spatially-modulated light from the spatial light modulator. The light-receiving surface is substantially parallel to the spatial light modulator (alpha-theta). The light-receiving surface is separated from the spatial light modulator by the propagation distance defined by the computer-generated diffractive pattern

    摘要: There is provided a head-up display for a vehicle. The head-up display has a first housing and a second housing. The first housing comprises a picture generating unit and optical system. The second housing comprises a substantially flat cover glass and a layer. The picture generating unit is arranged to output pictures. The picture generating unit comprises a light source and a spatial light modulator. The light source is arranged to emit light. The spatial light modulator is arranged to receive the light from the light source and spatially-modulate the light in accordance with computer-generated light-modulation patterns displayed on the spatial light modulator to form a holographic reconstruction corresponding to each picture. The optical system is arranged to receive the pictures output by the picture generating unit and relay the pictures using an optical combiner to form a virtual image of each picture. The optical combiner combines light output by the picture generating unit with light from a real-world scene to present combined images to a viewer within an eye-box. The second housing is disposed between the first housing and optical combiner. The substantially flat cover glass is arranged to protect the first housing. The layer is arranged to change the trajectory of light such that any sunlight reflected by the cover glass is deflected away from the eye-box.
