The evaluation shows that not every DMD-chip has acceptable optical quality for its application as display device for Fourier holograms. It was determined that major factor of reconstructed image quality degradation is a curvature of surface of SLM or its safety glass. Ranging hologram size allowed to estimate approximate size of sufficiently flat area of SLM matrix. For tested SLM it was about 1.5 mm. Further hologram size increase led to significant reconstructed image quality degradation. Developed and applied a technique allows to quickly estimate maximum size of holograms that can be displayed with specific SLM without significant degradation of reconstructed image. Additionally it allows to identify areas on the SLM with increased curvature of the surface. |
