Shaping the Amplitude and Phase of Laser Beams by Using a Phase-only Spatial Light Modulator

Abstract:
For complex amplitude modulation (CAM)-based three-dimensional (3D) near-eye systems, it is a challenge to realize colorful 3D display by using spatial light modulator (SLM) and grating. Here, a full-color compact 3D see-through near-eye display (NED) system by CAM is proposed. Computer generated holograms (CGHs) for different wavelengths are calculated separately. Each CGH contains two position-shifted sub-holograms and the separated distance is carefully calibrated to eliminate chromatic aberration. Colorful 3D images are synthesized through time-multiplexing. Color managements are performed and chromatic aberration of the system is analyzed to provide better colorful effect. The system structure is integrated to be compact and a prototype is implemented. Pre-compensation is added on CGHs to offset the system's assembling errors. Optical experiment results show that the proposed system can provide good 3D full-color see-through performance without vergence-accommodation conflict (VAC). Dynamic colorful display ability is also tested, which shows good potential for interactive NED in the future.

Compact Bone
Compact bone, also called cortical bone, is the denser, stronger of the two types of bone tissue. It is found under the periosteum and in the diaphyses of long bones, where it provides support and protection. The microscopic structural unit of compact bone is called an osteon, or haversian system. Each osteon is composed of concentric rings of calcified...
Colors and Magnetism
When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human...
