Speckle reduction in laser projection systems by diffractive optical elements

L Wang, T Tschudi, T Halldorsson, PR Petursson - Applied optics, 1998 - opg.optica.org
In laser projection systems the observer in the far field of the image points on the screen will
recognize serious speckle noise. There are many methods to reduce or eliminate speckles …

Speckle suppression in laser display using several partially coherent beams

S An, A Lapchuk, V Yurlov, J Song, HW Park, J Jang… - Optics express, 2009 - opg.optica.org

Laser speckle reduction due to spatial and angular diversity introduced by fast scanning micromirror

MN Akram, Z Tong, G Ouyang, X Chen, V Kartashov - Applied optics, 2010 - opg.optica.org
We utilize spatial and angular diversity to achieve speckle reduction in laser illumination.
Both free-space and imaging geometry configurations are considered. A fast two …

Speckle suppression in scanning laser display

V Yurlov, A Lapchuk, S Yun, J Song, H Yang - Applied Optics, 2008 - opg.optica.org
The theory of speckle noise in a scanning beam is presented. The general formulas for the
calculation of speckle contrast, which apply to any scanning display, are obtained. It is …

Speckle contrast reduction in laser projection displays

JI Trisnadi - Projection displays VIII, 2002 - spiedigitallibrary.org
Speckle arises when coherent light scattered from a rough surface is detected by an
intensity detector that has a finite aperture, such as an observer. In a laser projection display …

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 …

Speckle reduction mechanism in laser rear projection displays using a small moving diffuser

Y Kuratomi, K Sekiya, H Satoh, T Tomiyama… - JOSA A, 2010 - opg.optica.org
Recently, a practical method of speckle reduction in laser rear projection displays that uses
an optical system with a small moving diffuser has attracted much attention. In this paper, a …

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 …
