  • Publication number: 20070258119
    Abstract: This invention relates to an optical device and system for producing a holographic optical element or digital hologram. Various techniques of producing digital holograms have been proposed. However, they tend to suffer from long exposure times, as well as problems associated with control of two or more independent beams of coherent light used to produce a hologram. Problems become even more acute as pixel size decreases. The present invention provides an optical device including: a beam deflector, adapted to deflect a collimated beam of coherent light to produce an incident beam; a beam splitter for producing first and second beams, said beams being displaced so that the angle of deflection of the first beam is the same but opposite to the angle of deflection of the second beam; and a combiner combines the first and second beams so as to produce an interference pattern at an output plane.

  • Patent number: 5796498
    Abstract: A holographic imaging apparatus having a pulsed laser light source for generating an object beam and a reference beam whereby an object, obscured by a diffusing medium, is illuminated by the object beam. A real time interferogram recording medium is exposed to the coincidence of light reflected from the object and the reference beam to record an interferogram. A holographic image is then reconstructed from the interferogram and may be viewed and recorded. The pulsed laser light source generates a beam which is divided by a conventional beam splitter device into an object beam and a reference beam. The object beam is then diverged by a lens which forms a diverging object beam to illuminate the object. The reference beam is diverged through another lens to form a diverging reference beam which is directed so that it illuminates a photoreactive crystal.
