Abstract:

A procedure for the design of optical schemes of holographic displays is developed. The procedure implies the simultaneous optimization of the image quality factors and the root-mean-square values of the hologram diffraction efficiency at the control points. The procedure is implemented at the level of specific software tools and utilized for the design of an example scheme of a waveguide holographic display. The display operates within the 480–620 nm spectral range and has a 10° angular field of view and an exit pupil diameter of 10 mm. The input of radiation into the waveguide plate and the radiation output are achieved using diffractive elements operating in the transmitted light. The output element in this case is a volume phase hologram recorded by two point sources. The calculation results show that the implementation of the proposed design makes it possible to reduce the radius of the circle of confusion in terms of the angular measure by 0.28^′−0.97^′. The diffraction efficiency of the output hologram in this case is closer to the target value by 2.5% to 19%.
