Abstract

A compact 1-step holographic printer is provided comprising one or more diode- pumped pulsed lasers (101). Inexpensive and compact micro-lens arrays or equivalent holographic optical elements (109) are used in conjunction with one or more spatial light modulators (108) to generate one or more object beams encoded with suitable digital image data. One or more variable-angle reference beams are used to write simultaneously one or more holographic pixels. Use of photopolymer recording material (110) enables rapid printing of high quality 1-step full-colour reflection holograms within a compact unit with no chemical processing.
