    • DOEs offer beam-shaping, uniformity, and compactness in laser projection systems.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To propose a novel RGB laser projection display illumination system utilizing DOEs.
    • To replace conventional light pipes and relay lenses with a DOE and optical path compensation system (OPCS).
    • To design and simulate a compact and efficient illumination system for spatial light modulators (SLMs).

    Main Methods:

    • Design of a diffractive optical element (DOE).
    • Establishment of a simulation model for the illumination system.
