Abstract
A holographic projector comprising a spatial light modulator arranged to display a hologram of a light pattern for projection and to spatially-modulate light, in accordance with display, to form a holographic reconstruction, wherein the holographic reconstruction is spatially-separated from the spatial light modulator. If the holographic projection is operating properly, the formed holographic reconstruction should correspond to the light pattern. The holographic projector also comprises a detector array comprising a plurality of light detection elements arranged to detect light corresponding to a respective plurality of positions of the holographic reconstruction and to provide a respective plurality of output signals related to light detection, and a fault detection circuit arranged to compare one or more of the plurality of output signals from the respective plurality of light detection elements with one or more of a plurality of expected signals based on the light distribution of the light pattern.
