Paper Abstract
Holographic Optical Elements (HOEs) are very appropriate for the construction
of Helmet Mounted Displays (HilDs).
The low weight and the compactness of HOEs allow for a design which meets the
mechanical specifications of a helmet much better than a design with classical
optical components.
The weight of the optical system can be further reduced by using plastic
instead of glass substrates as support material for the holograms. If however,
the HOEs are recorded in dichromated gelatin, special precautions have to be taken
to obtain humidity-resistant HOEs and to ensure tight adhesion of the gelatin to
the plastic.
Furthermore, the influence of deformations of the substrate material on the image
quality has to be considered as well.
In order to find solutions for the above mentioned problems, DCG holograms
were recorded on the polycarbonate visor of holographic night vision goggles
(HNVG). To study the influence of the optical quality of the plastics on the
image quality of the HOEs, various recording configurations have been analyzed.
