Interferometric spatial light modulator for production of digital holograms

A method of recording a digital hologram in a holographic medium using a digital holographic system, the method comprising:

• displaying digital content on a an electronic display device, the electronic display device comprising an interferometric spatial light modulator based display engine;
• providing a holographic medium between a laser light source and the digital content displayed on the electronic display device;
• and
• generating at least one laser beam by at least one laser to flood expose the holographic medium and the electronic display device to record the digital content into the holographic medium.

A digital holographic system, comprising:

• an electronic display device comprising an interferometric spatial light modulator based display engine;
• at least one laser optically coupled to the electronic display device, the at least laser operative to generate at least one light beam at first wavelength;
• a processor coupled to the electronic display device and to the at least one laser,
• wherein the processor is operative to upload digital content to the electronic display device, and wherein the digital content is displayed on the electronic display device and is recorded into a holographic medium when the holographic medium and the electronic display device are flood exposed by the at one laser generated light beam.
