ABSTRACT:
A three dimensional display system includes a laser for generating a laser light signal. The signal is expanded and collimated using a traditional lens system and is directed to an acousto-optic modulator wherein it is modulated to generate a three dimensional image such as a holographic image. The modulation signal for the modulator is provided by a data processing system. The data processing system applies signals to the modulator that encode a diffraction pattern. The diffraction pattern is realized by the modulator upon application of the signals and the three dimensional image is produced by the modulated light signals. The image is demagnified by a demagnifier, and subsequently, imaged by a viewing lens. A horizontal scanner continuously multiplexes segments of the holographic image and compensates for the motion of segments across the modulator. A vertical scanner is provided to properly vertically position horizontal lines of the holographic image.
