    摘要: A head-up display for a vehicle, including a primary image reflection hologram supported by a transparent substrate located in the vehicle operator's field of view for the ambient scene in front of the vehicle, a light source for providing playback illumination to the primary image hologram, and a guard hologram in front of the primary image hologram for substantially reflecting ambient illumination that otherwise could spuriously turn on the first reflection hologram, the guard hologram having an angular bandwidth and a spectral bandwidth that are greater than the angular bandwidth and the spectral bandwidth of the primary image hologram, and having an optical density of 2.0 or greater. The guard hologram can be parallel fringe reflection hologram or a slant fringe reflection hologram.

    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.

    摘要: A hologram efficiency adjusting process that includes scanning the brightness effect of a hologram, which is either the hologram to be adjusted or a hologram representative of the hologram to be adjusted, to provide brightness vs. position information. The brightness information is utilized to produce a variable duty cycle half-tone mask that contains a pattern defining the areas of the hologram which are to be removed, with the pattern being unresolvable by the viewer of the hologram from which holograms have been removed pursuant to the mask pattern. The hologram to be adjusted is then photoresist coated and etched in accordance with the mask. Alternatively, the brightness information can be utilized to directly expose, for example by a laser scanner, photoresist disposed on the hologram to be adjusted.

    摘要: Noise is reduced in computer generated holograms (CGH's) by a method of overexposure. The CGH is used to make a master hologram. The master hologram is then used to make a copy from which a succession of other copy holograms is made. Each successive copy hologram is exposed less than the prior ones while increasing brightness uniformity. Consequently, a decreasing amount of change in exposure is required to reach 100% efficiency. The number and orientation of the copy holograms is incorporated into the design of the final optical element. The final hologram is not overexposed, since the amount of exposure has been reduced from the earlier holograms, and can be used in complex optical power systems.

    摘要: A method and apparatus of exposing a hologram to reduce spurious noise holograms. The exposure light source is moved relative to a recording module within predetermined distances that will ensure a blurring of the fringes of a noise hologram that is formed at a distance from a primary hologram while substantially not affecting the primary hologram. The controlled relative movement of the exposure source and the recording module within predetermined limits provide a considerable improvement in reducing the efficiency of spurious noise holograms.

    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.

    摘要: A hologram forming system for forming, from a single beam source and a reflective mirror, a reflective hologram in which spurious reflection and transmission hologram recordings are eliminated. Reflected rays are changed in phase relative to the primary beams during the recording period so that spurious holograms do not form. The remaining effect of the reflected rays is to slightly change the overall refractive index of a phase recording material (such as dichromated gelatin) with a resultant slight loss of available index of modulation or to slightly, uniformly, darken an amplitude hologram film, (such as silver halide) with a slight loss of available contrast. The invention includes hologram forming systems that move the cover plate relative to a fixed recording medium with and without a phase shifter in the primary beam and a hologram forming system that moves the substrate and mirror relative to the fixed cover plate.

    摘要: A holographic recording medium is treated to reduce or eliminate unwanted extraneous diffraction in a volume transmission hologram. Surface regions of the medium are desensitized either before or after a holographic recording to reduce the contrast of the holographic fringe pattern along the surfaces, and thereby to eliminate planar phase grating effects. Treatments include applying a burst of gas or vapor to the surface, irradiating the surfaces with highly absorbed incoherent light, thermally treating the recording medium.
