Speckle reduction in laser projection using microlens-array screens

J Pauwels, G Verschaffelt - Optics express, 2017 - opg.optica.org
We report on a novel speckle reduction scheme using microlens arrays as screen material
for application in laser-based projection systems. The scheme is based on properly …

Laser speckle reduction via colloidal-dispersion-filled projection screens

F Riechert, G Bastian, U Lemmer - Applied optics, 2009 - opg.optica.org
We use projection screens filled with colloidal dispersions to reduce laser speckle in laser
projection systems. Laser light is multiply scattered at the globules of the colloidal …

Laser speckle and its elimination

D Gabor - IBM Journal of Research and Development, 1970 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
“Objective” speckle arises from the uneven illumination of an object with a multiplicity of
waves that interfere at its surface.“Subjective” speckle arises at rough objects even if they …

Theoretical calculation and experimental investigation of speckle reduction by multiple wavelength lasers in laser projector with different angular diversities

H Yamada, K Moriyasu, H Sato, H Hatanaka… - Journal of …, 2019 - iopscience.iop.org
It is well known that speckle reduction can be achieved by using multiple wavelength lasers
and angular diversity in laser projectors. However, few studies have been reported about the …

Removal of hot spot speckle on laser projection screen using both the running screen and the rotating diffuser

SC Shin, SS Yoo, SY Lee, CY Park, SY Park, JW Kwon… - Displays, 2006 - Elsevier
A running screen method is applied to remove hot spot speckle on projection screen by a
laser display system with one DLP panel. We have commercially displayed a projection …

Effect of optical aberrations on laser speckle

PK Murphy, JP Allebach, NC Gallagher - JOSA A, 1986 - opg.optica.org
The output speckle statistics are affected by deterministic aberrations present in an imaging
system when the speckle is only partially developed. The speckle-power spectral density …

Versatile method for achieving 1% speckle contrast in large-venue laser projection displays using a stationary multimode optical fiber

JG Manni, JW Goodman - Optics express, 2012 - opg.optica.org
We propose a method based on quantitative theoretical analysis for achieving speckle
contrast of 1% or less in images created by a full-frame laser projection display system. The …

Speckle noise in displays

N George, CR Christensen, JS Bennett, BD Guenther - JOSA, 1976 - opg.optica.org
A theory is presented which relates the minimum detectable contrast level for an object in
the presence of noise to the statistics of the speckle. Consideration is given to smoothing of …

A wavelength diversity technique for reduction of speckle size

M Elbaum, M Greenebaum, M King - Optics Communications, 1972 - Elsevier
An experiment was performed to study the correlation between laser speckle patterns
obtained at different wavelengths at a fixed point at the image plane. Results agree with a …
