Holographic optical element

Last updated October 07, 2024

Holographic optical element (HOE) is an optical component (mirror, lens, directional diffuser, etc.) that produces holographic images using principles of diffraction. HOE is most commonly used in transparent displays, 3D imaging, and certain scanning technologies. The shape and structure of the HOE is dependent on the piece of hardware it is needed for, and the coupled wave theory is a common tool used to calculate the diffraction efficiency or grating volume that helps with the design of an HOE. Early concepts of the holographic optical element can be traced back to the mid-1900s, coinciding closely with the start of holography coined by Dennis Gabor. The application of 3D visualization and displays is ultimately the end goal of the HOE; however, the cost and complexity of the device has hindered the rapid development toward full 3D visualization. The HOE is also used in the development of augmented reality(AR) by companies such as Google with Google Glass or in research universities that look to utilize HOEs to create 3D imaging without the use of eye-wear or head-wear. Furthermore, the ability of the HOE to allow for transparent displays have caught the attention of the US military in its development of better head-up displays (HUD) which is used to display crucial information for aircraft pilots.^[1]^[2]^[3]

Early development of HOE

The holographic optical element is closely linked to holography (science of making holograms), a term proposed by Dennis Gabor in 1948. Since the idea of holography came around much has been done over the next few decades to try and create holograms. Around the 1960s, Yuri Nikolaevich Denisyuk, a graduate student from Leningrad recognized that perhaps the wave front of light can be recorded as a standing wave in a photographic emulsion (light crystal) by using monochromatic light which can then reflect light back to reproduce the wave front. This essentially describes a holographic mirror (one of the first HOEs created) and fixed the issue of overlapping images. However, there was little practical use in Densiyuk's proposal and his colleagues dismissed his results. It was not until around the mid-1960s that Densiyuk's proposals resurfaced after some development from Emmett Leith and Juris Upatnieks. These two associates encoded and reconstructed images with a two step hologram process on photographic transparency. More experiments for holographic instruments such as the holographic stereogram developed by Lloyd Cross in the 1970s took the imaging process developed by Leith and Uptanieks and arranged them into vertical strips that were curved into a cylinder. These strips act as an aperture that light passes through, so when a viewer is to look through them, a 3D image can be seen. This demonstrates a very simple version of the diffraction concepts that are still utilized in the production of HOEs and a prototype for 3D glasses.^[4]

Classifications

Volume and thin HOEs

HOEs differ from other optical devices since they do not bend light with curvature and shape. Instead, they use diffraction principles (the distribution of light as it passes through an aperture) to diffract light waves by reconstructing a new wavefront using a corresponding material profile, making HOEs a type of diffraction optical element (DOE).^[1] Two common types of HOEs that exist are volume HOEs and thin HOEs that are dependent. A thin HOE (one containing a thin layer of holographic grating) has a low diffraction efficiency, causing light beams to diffract in various directions. Conversely, volume HOE types (ones containing multiple layers of holographic gratings) are more efficient since there is more control on the direction of light due to a high diffractive efficiency. Most of the calculations done to create HOEs are usually the volume type HOEs.^[5]

Reflection-type and transmission-type HOEs

In addition to being a thin or volume HOE, an HOE can also be affected by positioning, which determines whether it is a transmission type or reflection type. These types of HOE are determined by the position of the object beam and reference beam in relation to the recording material of those beams: being on the same side indicates a transmission HOE and otherwise a reflection HOE. Some materials that are most commonly used in manufacturing HOEs include silver halide emulsion and dichromate gelatin.^[6]^[7]

Applications

Aerospace industry

In the early 2000s NASA conducted a test known as the Holographic Airborne Rotating Lidar Instrument Experiment(HARLIE) that utilized dichromate gelatin-based volume HOE sandwiched between float glass. The objective of the test was to find a new method of measuring surface and atmospheric parameters that could reduce the size, mass, and angular momentum of a spaceborne lidar systems.^[6]^[8] The ability of HOE to be made as curved or bendable allows it to be used in the construction of head up displays(HUD) or head mount displays(HMD). Additionally, transparency can be achieved due to the selectivity of the volume grating that is used to diffract light at a specific incident angle or wavelength.^[9] This allows for the development of transparent head-up displays that convey information to aircraft pilots and conserves cockpit space. The US military is currently running tests on these new aircraft displays.^[10]

Next-level augmented reality

One use of a holographic optical element is in thin-profile combiner lenses for optical head-mounted displays.^[11] A reflective volume hologram is used to extract progressively a collimated image that was directed via total internal reflection in an optical waveguide. The spectral and angular Bragg selectivity of the reflective volume hologram makes it particularly well-suited for a combiner using such light sources as RGB LEDs, providing both good see-through quality and good quality of the projected image. This usage has been implemented in smart glasses by Konica Minolta and Sony.^[12]^[13]

One of the goals in the design of an HOE is to try and create 3D visualization and the closest thing to that is augmented reality. The most common types of augmented reality come from head mount displays or glasses type displays, which can be considered the first type of 3D displays. Some examples of this type of display include Microsoft's HoloLens I, II, Google Glass, and Magic Leap. Items like these are often very expensive due to the high cost of materials used to produce HOEs.^[1]^[14] There is also a second type of 3D visualization method that looks to replicate 3D objects through the creation of light fields. This type of visualization is closer to the ones seen in science fiction films or video games. Theoretical ways in which HOE can be used to bring the second type into fruition have been proposed. One proposal from affiliates of Beihang University and Sichuan University in 2019 suggests the use of micro lens array(MLA) HOE along with a display panel can create a 3D image. The proposed technology works by having the MLA type HOE form a spherical wave of arrays. Light is then distributed across this spherical array to form a 3D image. At its current state, the downside to the display is its low resolution quality.^[15]

Mathematical theories relevant for HOE construction

Coupled-wave theory

The coupled-wave theory is a crucial part of the design of volume HOEs. It was first written about by Herwig Kolgenik in 1969 and contains mathematical models that determine the wavelength and angular selectivity(these factors determine how efficiently something may be able to adjust and transmit light at a certain angle or wavelength) of certain materials.^[16] Several premises are given by the theory: it is valid for large diffraction efficiencies(measures how much optical power is diffracted at a given spot) and its derivation is done on the basis that the monochromatic light incident is near the Bragg angle (a small angle between a light beam and a plane of crystals) and perpendicular to the plane of incidence (a plane that contains both a ray of light and a surface that usually acts as a mirror at a certain point). Since the HOE works by diffracting light by constructing new waves, trying to get the thick HOE material to diffract light near the Bragg angle will make for more efficient wavefront construction.^[17] These equations are used to adjust the hologram grating volume and increase the diffraction efficiency of the HOE during production and can be applied to both transmission type HOEs or reflection type HOEs.^[16]^[17]

Classical grating equation accounts for the incident angle $\alpha$ , diffraction angle $\beta$ , surface grating $v$ , wavelength in free space $\lambda$ , and the integer order of diffraction $m$ :

mv\lambda =\sin \alpha _{0}+\sin \beta _{0}.

Bragg equation for plane transmission accounts for $1/v$ as $\Lambda$ and the index of refraction as $n_{1}$ :

m\lambda =\Lambda 2n_{1}\sin \alpha _{1}.

Spectral bandwidth approximation accounts for the spectral bandwidth $\Delta \lambda _{f}$ and the grating thickness $d$ :

\Delta \lambda _{f}/\lambda \approx (\Lambda /d)\cot \alpha _{1}.

Angular bandwidth approximation accounts for $\alpha _{f}$ as the angular bandwidth at FWHM (full width at half the maximum):

\Delta \alpha _{f}\approx \Lambda /d.

Diffraction efficiency equation accounts for $\Delta n_{1}$ as the intensity of the grating modulation, $\eta _{t}$ as the diffraction efficiency for TM mode (polarization parallel to the plane of incidence), and $\cos(2\alpha _{1})$ as the reduced effective coupling constant:

\eta _{t}=\sin ^{2}[\pi \Delta n_{1}d\cos(2\alpha _{1})/(\lambda \cos \alpha _{1})].

Wave propagation in the grating as described by scalar wave equation accounts for $E(x,z)$ as the complex amplitude in the y component and $k(x,z)$ as the propagation constant that is spatially modulated:

\nabla ^{2}E+k^{2}E=0.

Lenslet calculations

Lenslet^[1] (very small lenses measured in micrometers) shape variation calculations that may help determine the distance, wavelength, and middle-mask aperture that determine HOE output for HOEs acting like a lens.

Horizontal direction calculation: $\delta _{x}$ is the horizontal position of the speckle, $h$ is the parameters of the middle mask aperture(mask placed near lens aperture) perpendicular to the horizontal position of the speckle(height), $\lambda$ is the wavelength, and $f$ is the working focal distance,

\delta _{x}=2\lambda f/h.

Vertical direction calculation: $\delta _{y}$ is the vertical position of the speckle, $w$ is the parameters of the middle mask aperture(mask placed near lens aperture) perpendicular to the vertical position of the speckle (width), $\lambda$ is the wavelength, and $f$ is the working focal distance,

\delta _{y}=2\lambda f/w.

$Diffraction Phenomenon of the motion of waves$

Diffraction is the interference or bending of waves around the corners of an obstacle or through an aperture into the region of geometrical shadow of the obstacle/aperture. The diffracting object or aperture effectively becomes a secondary source of the propagating wave. Italian scientist Francesco Maria Grimaldi coined the word diffraction and was the first to record accurate observations of the phenomenon in 1660.

In physics and mathematics, wavelength or spatial period of a wave or periodic function is the distance over which the wave's shape repeats. In other words, it is the distance between consecutive corresponding points of the same phase on the wave, such as two adjacent crests, troughs, or zero crossings. Wavelength is a characteristic of both traveling waves and standing waves, as well as other spatial wave patterns. The inverse of the wavelength is called the spatial frequency. Wavelength is commonly designated by the Greek letter lambda (λ). The term "wavelength" is also sometimes applied to modulated waves, and to the sinusoidal envelopes of modulated waves or waves formed by interference of several sinusoids.

$Diffraction grating Optical component which splits light into several beams$

In optics, a diffraction grating is an optical grating with a periodic structure that diffracts light, or another type of electromagnetic radiation, into several beams traveling in different directions. The emerging coloration is a form of structural coloration. The directions or diffraction angles of these beams depend on the wave (light) incident angle to the diffraction grating, the spacing or periodic distance between adjacent diffracting elements on the grating, and the wavelength of the incident light. The grating acts as a dispersive element. Because of this, diffraction gratings are commonly used in monochromators and spectrometers, but other applications are also possible such as optical encoders for high-precision motion control and wavefront measurement.

Angular resolution describes the ability of any image-forming device such as an optical or radio telescope, a microscope, a camera, or an eye, to distinguish small details of an object, thereby making it a major determinant of image resolution. It is used in optics applied to light waves, in antenna theory applied to radio waves, and in acoustics applied to sound waves. The colloquial use of the term "resolution" sometimes causes confusion; when an optical system is said to have a high resolution or high angular resolution, it means that the perceived distance, or actual angular distance, between resolved neighboring objects is small. The value that quantifies this property, θ, which is given by the Rayleigh criterion, is low for a system with a high resolution. The closely related term spatial resolution refers to the precision of a measurement with respect to space, which is directly connected to angular resolution in imaging instruments. The Rayleigh criterion shows that the minimum angular spread that can be resolved by an image-forming system is limited by diffraction to the ratio of the wavelength of the waves to the aperture width. For this reason, high-resolution imaging systems such as astronomical telescopes, long distance telephoto camera lenses and radio telescopes have large apertures.

Fourier optics is the study of classical optics using Fourier transforms (FTs), in which the waveform being considered is regarded as made up of a combination, or superposition, of plane waves. It has some parallels to the Huygens–Fresnel principle, in which the wavefront is regarded as being made up of a combination of spherical wavefronts whose sum is the wavefront being studied. A key difference is that Fourier optics considers the plane waves to be natural modes of the propagation medium, as opposed to Huygens–Fresnel, where the spherical waves originate in the physical medium.

$Diffraction-limited system Optical system with resolution performance at the instruments theoretical limit$

In optics, any optical instrument or system – a microscope, telescope, or camera – has a principal limit to its resolution due to the physics of diffraction. An optical instrument is said to be diffraction-limited if it has reached this limit of resolution performance. Other factors may affect an optical system's performance, such as lens imperfections or aberrations, but these are caused by errors in the manufacture or calculation of a lens, whereas the diffraction limit is the maximum resolution possible for a theoretically perfect, or ideal, optical system.

In optics, the Fraunhofer diffraction equation is used to model the diffraction of waves when plane waves are incident on a diffracting object, and the diffraction pattern is viewed at a sufficiently long distance from the object, and also when it is viewed at the focal plane of an imaging lens. In contrast, the diffraction pattern created near the diffracting object and is given by the Fresnel diffraction equation.

$Zone plate Device used to focus light using diffraction$

A zone plate is a device used to focus light or other things exhibiting wave character. Unlike lenses or curved mirrors, zone plates use diffraction instead of refraction or reflection. Based on analysis by French physicist Augustin-Jean Fresnel, they are sometimes called Fresnel zone plates in his honor. The zone plate's focusing ability is an extension of the Arago spot phenomenon caused by diffraction from an opaque disc.

A fiber Bragg grating (FBG) is a type of distributed Bragg reflector constructed in a short segment of optical fiber that reflects particular wavelengths of light and transmits all others. This is achieved by creating a periodic variation in the refractive index of the fiber core, which generates a wavelength-specific dielectric mirror. Hence a fiber Bragg grating can be used as an inline optical filter to block certain wavelengths, can be used for sensing applications, or it can be used as wavelength-specific reflector.

High-resolution transmission electron microscopy is an imaging mode of specialized transmission electron microscopes that allows for direct imaging of the atomic structure of samples. It is a powerful tool to study properties of materials on the atomic scale, such as semiconductors, metals, nanoparticles and sp²-bonded carbon. While this term is often also used to refer to high resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy, mostly in high angle annular dark field mode, this article describes mainly the imaging of an object by recording the two-dimensional spatial wave amplitude distribution in the image plane, similar to a "classic" light microscope. For disambiguation, the technique is also often referred to as phase contrast transmission electron microscopy, although this term is less appropriate. At present, the highest point resolution realised in high resolution transmission electron microscopy is around 0.5 ångströms (0.050 nm). At these small scales, individual atoms of a crystal and defects can be resolved. For 3-dimensional crystals, it is necessary to combine several views, taken from different angles, into a 3D map. This technique is called electron tomography.

In optics, a dispersive prism is an optical prism that is used to disperse light, that is, to separate light into its spectral components. Different wavelengths (colors) of light will be deflected by the prism at different angles. This is a result of the prism material's index of refraction varying with wavelength (dispersion). Generally, longer wavelengths (red) undergo a smaller deviation than shorter wavelengths (blue). The dispersion of white light into colors by a prism led Sir Isaac Newton to conclude that white light consisted of a mixture of different colors.

Acousto-optics is a branch of physics that studies the interactions between sound waves and light waves, especially the diffraction of laser light by ultrasound through an ultrasonic grating.

Volume holograms are holograms where the thickness of the recording material is much larger than the light wavelength used for recording. In this case diffraction of light from the hologram is possible only as Bragg diffraction, i.e., the light has to have the right wavelength (color) and the wave must have the right shape. Volume holograms are also called thick holograms or Bragg holograms.

A blazed grating – also called echelette grating – is a special type of diffraction grating. It is optimized to achieve maximum grating efficiency in a given diffraction order. For this purpose, maximum optical power is concentrated in the desired diffraction order while the residual power in the other orders is minimized. Since this condition can only exactly be achieved for one wavelength, it is specified for which blaze wavelength the grating is optimized. The direction in which maximum efficiency is achieved is called the blaze angle and is the third crucial characteristic of a blazed grating directly depending on blaze wavelength and diffraction order.

The Kapitza–Dirac effect is a quantum mechanical effect consisting of the diffraction of matter by a standing wave of light. The effect was first predicted as the diffraction of electrons from a standing wave of light by Paul Dirac and Pyotr Kapitsa in 1933. The effect relies on the wave–particle duality of matter as stated by the de Broglie hypothesis in 1924.

The contrast transfer function (CTF) mathematically describes how aberrations in a transmission electron microscope (TEM) modify the image of a sample. This contrast transfer function (CTF) sets the resolution of high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), also known as phase contrast TEM.

In physics and engineering, the envelope of an oscillating signal is a smooth curve outlining its extremes. The envelope thus generalizes the concept of a constant amplitude into an instantaneous amplitude. The figure illustrates a modulated sine wave varying between an upper envelope and a lower envelope. The envelope function may be a function of time, space, angle, or indeed of any variable.

In optics, the Fraunhofer diffraction equation is used to model the diffraction of waves when the diffraction pattern is viewed at a long distance from the diffracting object, and also when it is viewed at the focal plane of an imaging lens.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">White light interferometry</span> Measurement technique

As described here, white light interferometry is a non-contact optical method for surface height measurement on 3D structures with surface profiles varying between tens of nanometers and a few centimeters. It is often used as an alternative name for coherence scanning interferometry in the context of areal surface topography instrumentation that relies on spectrally-broadband, visible-wavelength light.

Optical holography is a technique which enables an optical wavefront to be recorded and later re-constructed. Holography is best known as a method of generating three-dimensional images but it also has a wide range of other applications.
