    Abstract: There is provided a beam expander including a first optical element, a second optical element, a composite waveguide including a plurality of waveguide elements, and a dichroic coating provided between the plurality of waveguide elements. The first optical element inputs a collimated incident beam from the outside into the composite waveguide, and the second optical element outputs , from the composite waveguide, collimated incident beam, input to the composite waveguide, wherein the collimated incident beam input into the composite waveguide is divided into multiple wavefronts by the dichroic coating, and the multiple wavefronts are mixed by total internal reflection in the composite waveguide. When the beam expander is used, coherency and collimation of an output beam may be maintained and speckles may be reduced or eliminated while improving the efficiency of an optical system.

    Abstract: Provided is a holographic display apparatus including a light source configured to emit light; a spatial light modulator configured to sequentially generate hologram patterns for modulating the light and to sequentially reproduce frames of hologram images based on the hologram patterns; and a controller configured to provide hologram data signals to the spatial light modulator, the hologram data signals being used to sequentially generate the hologram patterns. The controller is configured to further provide, to the spatial light modulator, diffraction pattern data signals for forming periodic diffraction patterns for adjusting locations of the hologram images to be reproduced on a hologram image plane, the diffraction pattern data signals being configured to move the periodic diffraction patterns on the spatial light modulator along a predetermined direction for each of the frames.

    Abstract: A beam deflector and a three-dimensional (3D) display device including the beam deflector are provided. The beam deflector includes a first deflector configured to controllably deflect incident light having a first polarization state in a first horizontal direction; a half-wave plate configured to rotate a polarization of light transmitted by the first deflector by 90°; and a second deflector configured to controllably deflect light transmitted by the half-wave plate having the first polarization state in a second horizontal direction that is different from the first horizontal direction.
