Abstract:
Provided is an illumination device which illuminates an illuminated zone with a plurality of coherent light beams having mutually different wavelength ranges, so that it is possible to allow speckles to be inconspicuous. A illumination device (40) is configured to include an optical element (50) including a hologram recording medium (55) and an irradiation device (60) which illuminates the optical element with a plurality of coherent light beams having mutually different wavelength ranges so as to allow a first and second coherent light beams (La, Lb) having different wavelength ranges to scan the hologram recording medium of the optical element. The first coherent light beams incident on respective positions of the hologram recording medium are allowed to reproduce an image (5) superimposed on an illuminated zone, and the second coherent light beams incident on the respective positions of the hologram recording medium are allowed to reproduce an image superimposed on the illuminated zone.
Abstract:
An exposure apparatus has an optical device configured to be capable of diffusing coherent light beams from respective points to the entire region of at least a specific zone, an irradiation unit configured to irradiate the coherent light beams to the optical device so that the coherent light beams scan a surface of the optical device, and a spatial light modulator that is provided at a location overlapped with the specific zone and illuminated by the illumination device. The irradiation unit makes the coherent light beams scan the surface of the optical device by changing propagation directions of the coherent light beams, and coherent light beams modulated by the spatial light modulator are guided to a surface of a photosensitive medium.
Abstract:
A laser beam (L50) generated by a laser light source (50) is reflected by a light beam scanning device (60) and irradiated onto a hologram recording medium (45). On the hologram recording medium (45), an image (35) of a scatter plate is recorded as a hologram by using reference light that converges on a scanning origin (B). The light beam scanning device (60) bends the laser beam (L50) at the scanning origin (B) and irradiates the laser beam onto the hologram recording medium (45). At this time, scanning is carried out by changing a bending mode of the laser beam with time so that an irradiation position of the bent laser beam (L60) on the hologram recording medium (45) changes with time. Regardless of an irradiation position of the beam, diffracted light (L45) from the hologram recording medium (45) produces a reproduction image (35) of the scatter plate on the spatial light modulator (200). The modulated image of the spatial light modulator (200) is projected onto a screen (400) by a projection optical system (300).
Abstract:
A screen 40 includes a sheet member including a control layer that includes a plurality of particles or a predetermined liquid, and an electrode that applies a voltage to the control layer to drive the plurality of particles or the predetermined liquid. The plurality of particles or the predetermined liquid allows light emitted from a coherent light source 21 disposed at a predetermined site to be transmitted or reflected, and the electrode causes at least one of movement and rotation of the plurality of particles to occur at the inside of the control layer in correspondence with the voltage, or causes the predetermined liquid to move at the inside of the control layer in correspondence with the voltage.

Abstract:
A laser beam (L50) is reflected by a light beam scanning device (60) and irradiated onto a hologram recording medium (45). On the hologram recording medium (45), an image (35) of a linear scatter body is recorded as a hologram by using reference light that converges on a scanning origin (B). The light beam scanning device (60) bends the laser beam (L50) at the scanning origin (B) and irradiates the laser beam onto the hologram recording medium (45). At this time, by changing a bending mode of the laser beam with time, an irradiation position of the bent laser beam (L60) on the hologram recording medium (45) is changed with time. Diffracted light (L45) from the hologram recording medium (45) produces a reproduction image (35) of the linear scatter body on a light receiving surface (R) of the stage 210. When an object is placed on the light receiving surface (R), a line pattern is projected by hologram reproduction light, so that the projected image is captured and a three-dimensional shape of the object is measured.
