Integrated optics for holographic video

Abstract

The goal of this research is to fabricate a guided-wave, two-axis scanner and to modify the design of the MIT holovideo system to take full advantage of the scanner's high bandwidth and two-dimensional deflection. The new display geometry will be designed to use the guided-wave scanner coupled with a holographic optical element to perform a solid-state horizontal de-scan. The development of the guided-wave scanner and the improvements made to the holovideo geometry, will enable the construction of a third generation holovideo display that is higher bandwidth, more solid-state and at least an order of magnitude less expensive than previous generations.
