Abstract
A system and method that synchronizes a spatial light modulator (SLM) with a pulsed laser to record a hologram at the repetition rate of the pulsed laser for applications including holographic displays and data storage. The color channel capability of a SLM is utilized to effectively increase the write throughput when the pulsed laser repetition rate LR exceeds the SLM's image refresh rate R. The hogels are encoded on the color channels and concatenated to form a sequence of color images such that the write throughput is equal to the repetition rate LR up to a maximum of N*R. This effectively extends the capability and continued viability of existing inexpensive SLMs.
