Aberration Correction and Speckle Noise Reduction in Image Minified Lensless Holographic Projection Based on Digital Micro-Mirror Device

Abstract

Lensless holographic projection technology allows for removing of the projection lens and simplifies the optical projection system. It has great potential to be applied in the fields of three-dimensional printing, integrated circuit fabrication, and display. In this article, for image minified lensless holographic projection based on digital micro-mirror device (DMD), we examine the aberration that arises from the use of the DMD in the presence of oblique converging spherical wave illumination. To correct this aberration, we employ a diagonal compression technique on the target pattern. Additionally, we address the issue of speckle noise by relaxing the amplitude constraint in the non-signal domain, which is generated by our proposed aberration correction method. Importantly, this relaxation is achieved without reducing the size of the valid image. Our experimental results demonstrate the successful reconstruction of high-quality images in a lensless holographic projection system.
