Method and device for the layered production of thin volume grid stacks, and beam combiner for a holographic display

摘要

The layered generation of at least one volume grating in a recording medium by way of exposure, the recording medium having at least one photosensitive layer which is sensitized for a presettable wavelength of the exposure light. Each volume grating is generated in the recording medium by at least two wave fronts of coherent light capable of generating interference, the wave fronts being superposed in the recording medium at a presettable depth, at a presettable angle and with a presettable interference contrast. The depth and the thickness of the refractive index modulation and/or transparency modulation of a volume grating in the recording medium is controlled by depth-specific control of the spatial and/or temporal degree of coherence of the interfering wave fronts in the direction of light propagation.
