One-unit system to reconstruct a 3-D movie at a video-rate via electroholography

Opt Express. 2009 Oct 26;17(22):19691-7. doi: 10.1364/OE.17.019691.

Abstract

We have developed a one-unit system, including creating and displaying a hologram for real-time reproduction of a three-dimensional image via electroholography. We have constructed this one-unit system by connecting a special-purpose computer for holography and a special display board with a reflective liquid crystal display as a spatial light modulator. Using this one-unit system, we succeeded in reproducing a three-dimensional image composed of 10,000 points at a speed of 30 frames per second, which is the video rate in NTSC format. In addition, we were able to control a three-dimensional image in real-time using our system.
