Abstract

In this paper, we present the conception of a holographic combiner for an augmented reality Head Mounted Display (HMD) dedicated to surgical applications. The recording of this holographic component has been performed at the Laboratoire des Systemes Photoniques (LSP) in Strasbourg, France. We present in this paper two different approaches for the recording of such a component: one using plane waves, and the other using spherical waves. The setup linked to the first approach has been developed and built, so that measurments of the diffraction efficiency can be shown. For the other way of recording the holographic combiner, we have performed numerical simulations to find the best recording setup to fit our specifications.
