Materials and Modulators for True 3-Dimensional Displays
Abstract
The research conducted in this program primarily concerned identification of materials that would serve in scalable real time 3D displays. Such materials would have to experience two photon absorption of two different wavelengths near infrared beams of light only at the intersection of the two beams. Upon such excitation the material would have to emit visible light. Our focus on scalable materials led us to first study organic dyes dissolved in polymeric hosts which proved to work but were insufficiently efficient for the desired application. We then concentrated on a rare earth doped cubic fluoride crystal that could be dispersed in an index matched binder to form a volumetric 3D display. Significant progress was made towards that goal and a proof-of-principle demonstration medium was prepared.
