Abstract

A holographic optical device having a light transmissive substrate with a first holographic optical element carried by the substrate, and a second holographic optical element also carried by the substrate but laterally offset from the first holographic optical element. The first holographic optical element diffracts waves from each data point in a display source into a collimated plane wave such that the plane wave is trapped inside the substrate by internal reflection, and the first holographic optical element also corrects field aberrations over the entire field of view by being recorded using at least one aspheric wavefront. The second holographic optical element diffracts the trapped plane waves out of the substrate.
