Holovideo

Integrated optics for holographic video

My dream is to develop an integrated holographic video display based on acousto-optic modulation with lithium niobate. This so called “leaky-mode” holography is unique compared to other holovideo approaches. Instead of pixelated devices, such as liquid crystal on silicon spatial light modulators, leaky-mode holography scans a beam using acoustic diffraction. An analog solution to an analog problem!

Ultimately, I hope to design a near-eye augmented reality display.

In addition to fabrication leaky-mode waveguides, I have experience simulating these kinds of devices too.
