In this study we investigated the undesired but possible fringe formation during the recording of large size holographic optical elements (HOE) using a dry photopolymer. We identified the deformation of the recording element during hologram exposure as the main source for this fringe formation. This deformation is caused mainly by the one-sided heating of the recording element, namely, the dry photopolymer–recording plate stack. It turned out that the main source for this heating was the heat of polymerization in the dry photopolymer released during the exposure interval. These insights were translated into a physical model with which quantitative predictions about thermal fringe formation can be made depending on the actual HOE recording geometry, recording conditions and characteristics of the dry photopolymer. Using this model, different types of large size HOEs, used as components to generate a steerable confined view box for a 23” diagonal size display demonstrator, could be recorded successfully without thermal fringe formation. Key strategies to avoid thermal fringe formation deduced from this model include balancing the ratio of lateral recording plate dimension R to its thickness h, recording the power density P or equivalently the exposure time texp at a fixed recording dosage E, and most importantly recording the the linear coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of the recording plate material. Suitable glass plates with extremely low CTE were identified and used for recording of the above-mentioned HOEs. |
