Research on improving holographic display quality based on phase compensation of reproduced image light energy distribution

Abstract

Liquid crystal spatial light modulator (LC-SLM) holographic display is affected by its structure, which products multi-level diffracted image with zero-order spot, resulting in low light energy utilization and poor uniformity of the reproduced image. This paper presents a method to improve the uniformity of light energy distribution in the reproduced image by using phase compensation, and the uniformity of the image can be effectively improved by using digital blazed grating to deviate the image and performing phase compensation according to the light energy distribution. Analyzing the uniformity of light energy distribution, the phase distribution is compensated, and experiments verify the phase compensation. The experimental results show that the uniformity and light energy utilization of the reproduced image after compensation has been improved. The results show that the proposed phase compensation method can be applied to both Fresnel holography and Fourier holography; both can effectively improve the uniformity and efficiency of light energy. Therefore, this method has a specific application value to enhance the quality of holographic reproduction and light field modulation based on LC-SLM.
