摘要:
A hologram structure including a plurality of holograms having substantially identical reconstruction characteristics disposed on a substrate for rotation about a rotation axis and containing segments of a composite image. The holograms are angularly offset relative to each other about a rotation axis such that the composite image is visible over at least one narrow solid angular region pursuant to rotation of the holograms about the rotation axis and illumination of the holograms with a reconstruction beam.

An optical parking alignment system that includes at least one projector located on a vehicle for projecting a respective image forwardly of the vehicle, whereby alignment of the vehicle is indicated when each respective image is in focus on a screen disposed in front of the vehicle. The projector cam comprise a transparency and an imaging lens, or a hologram and a narrowband light source.

A reflection hologram structure including a transparent substrate, and a pattern of shielded hologram containing regions and transparent regions disposed on the transparent substrate, the pattern being unresolvable to the viewer. The shielded hologram containing areas comprise hologram subregions and shielding subregions overlying the hologram subregions. The shielding subregions comprise for example, opaque regions or partially illumination transmissive regions.

A hologram recording assembly includes a transparent, absorbent member supported on a substrate. The transparent member is positioned to be directly incident to an exposure beam. The transparent member is out of moisture equilibrium during an exposure time. Consequently, the transparent member increases or decreases in thickness depending on a moisture difference between it and the environment. As the thickness changes, a phase shift in the light reflections within the recording assembly blurs spurious holograms while leaving the desired hologram intact.

A holographic stoplight assembly including a volume hologram having a recorded stoplight image secured adjacent to the inside surface of an automobile window. The volume hologram is selectively illuminated by an illumination source located out of the driver's rearward field of vision and forward of the hologram. Also disclosed is a method for recording a hologram for use in a holographic automobile stoplight system which includes the steps of recording the image of a stoplight in a first hologram, and then recording in a second hologram the playback image of the first hologram.
摘要:
The systems of the invention form improved reflection and transmission holograms utilizing two beams and eliminating all of the higher energy spurious holographic recordings that are caused by reflections of rays from the outer surfaces of the cover plates. The systems provide movement of the cover plate or movement of the substrate and recording medium during the recording period to prevent formation of the spurious recordings. In some arrangements of the invention, global phase shifters are utilized to maintain the phase of the primary rays forming the desired hologram at a high level.

A stoplight system that includes a light source for providing a light output, and an array of non-overlapping lenslets comprised of first lenslets and second lenslets, each first lenslet configured to refract a portion of the light output of the light source into a first predetermined angular field comprising a central angular region having vertical and horizontal extent, and each second lenslet configured to refract a portion of the light output of the light source into a second predetermined angular field comprising first and second peripheral angular regions that are horizontally on either side of the central angular region, whereby the portions of the light output of the light source that are refracted by the first and second lenslets form stoplight illumination.
摘要:
A hologram structure for use in a holographic center high mounted stoplight system for a vehicle. The hologram structure includes first and second hologram layers laminarly secured to each other, each having a plurality of bright hologram cells and dim hologram cells formed therein, and each hologram cell being configured to diffract light into a predetermined solid angular region. The bright hologram cells and the dim hologram cells of each hologram are arranged in a pattern to produce a recognizable pattern of bright and dim areas.
摘要:
A hologram exposure system for simultaneously exposing a plurality of holograms in a holographic recording layer, including first optical elements for providing a first reference beam and a first object beam that interfere in the holographic recording layer and are coherently matched relative to each other, and second optical elements for providing a second reference beam and a second object beam that interfere in the holographic recording layer and are coherently matched relative to each other but are coherently mismatched relative to the first reference and object beams, whereby the crosstalk holograms formed by interference of (1) the first reference beam with the second object beam, (2) the first object beam with the second reference beam, (3) the first object beam with the second object beam, and (4) the first reference beam with the second reference have reduced efficiencies.
摘要:
A method for precisely controlling the overall average diffraction efficiency of a hologram including the steps of (a) providing a hologram layer that includes a hologram formed pursuant to hologram forming exposure and development, (b) coating the hologram layer with a photoresist layer, (c) masking the photoresist layer with a mask having opaque and transparent areas wherein the proportion of the opaque areas relative to the transparent areas is selected pursuant to the desired diffraction efficiency, the opaque and transparent areas being sufficiently small so as to have little noticeable effect when the resulting hologram is played back, (d) exposing the photoresist layer to actinic illumination through the mask transparent areas, (e) developing the photoresist layer to remove the photoresist in the areas illuminated by the actinic illumination to uncover the areas of the recording material corresponding to the transparent areas of the mask, (f) etching the recording material to remove the areas thereof that were uncovered by etching of the photoresist, and (g) removing the remaining photoresist. The formation of the hologram can be at an effective exposure in the saturated region of the efficiency vs. exposure curve wherein changes in efficiency as a function of parameter variation are small.
