Metasurface Technique Enables Advanced Holography Applications

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
WUHAN, China, Dec. 28, 2023 — Computer-generated holography (CGH) represents a cutting-edge technology that employs computer algorithms to dynamically reconstruct virtual objects. Despite its broad application spectrum, contemporary techniques for CGH rely on projection devices like spatial light modulators (SLMs) and digital micromirror devices (DMDs). These devices inherently face limitations in display capabilities, often resulting in narrow field-of-view and multilevel diffraction in projected images. Recently, metasurfaces have garnered research interest in holography due to their ability to introduce abrupt...Read full article

    holography
    Holography is a technique used to capture and reconstruct three-dimensional images using the principles of interference and diffraction of light. Unlike conventional photography, which records only the intensity of light, holography records both the intensity and phase information of light waves scattered from an object. This allows the faithful reproduction of the object's three-dimensional structure, including its depth, shape, and texture. The process of holography typically involves the...
    metalens
    A metalens, short for "metasurface lens," is a type of optical lens that uses nanostructured materials to manipulate light at a subwavelength scale. Unlike traditional lenses made of glass or other transparent materials, metalenses do not rely on the curvature of their surface to refract or focus light. Instead, they use carefully engineered patterns of nanostructures, such as nanoscale antennas or dielectric structures, to control the phase and amplitude of light across the lens's surface....
    display
    The observable illustration of an image, scene or data on a screen such as a console or cathode-ray tube, seen as a graph, report or drawing.
    frame rate
    Frame rate refers to the frequency at which consecutive images, or frames, are displayed in a video sequence. It is typically measured in frames per second (fps) and determines the smoothness and perceived motion of the video. In digital video, each frame consists of a snapshot of the scene at a particular moment in time. When these frames are played in rapid succession, the illusion of motion is created. The frame rate dictates how many frames are displayed per second, thus affecting the...
