Abstract:
We present a novel approach that utilizes both physical tiling and optical scan-tiling of high-speed electrically addressed spatial light modulator (SLM) for increasing the pixel count of hologram. Twenty-four SXGA (1280×1080) high-speed ferroelectric liquid crystal on silicon are first physically tiled to form an 8(rows)×3(columns) SLM array. This array is further tiled to form a final hologram with pixel count of 377.5 Megapixels through a 1-axis galvanometric scanning mirror. A large computer-generated hologram is calculated and fed into the individual SLMs according to the predefined sequence. Full-color and full-parallax flickless three-dimensional objects are replayed at a rate of 60 frames per second in a 10-in. display window. The launching of the hologram, laser illumination, and scanning mirror are synchronized and controlled by a field-programmable gate array.
