Abstract Optical trap displays (OTD) are an emerging display technology with the ability to create full-color images in air. Like all volumetric displays, OTDs lack the ability to show virtual images. However, in this paper we show that it is possible to insteadsimulatevirtual images by employing a time-varying perspective projection backdrop.more » « less

It will soon be a decade since leaky mode waveguide devices were presented as a solution for holographic video displays. This paper seeks to provide a brief, topical review of advances made during that time. Specifically, we review the new methods and architectures that have been developed over this period. This work draws primarily from papers seeking to present dynamic holographic patterns using mode coupling from indiffused waveguides on lithium niobate. The primary participants during this time period have been groups from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Brigham Young University, and Draper. We also describe the challenges that remain. The body of work reviewed speaks to the need for further development, but it also reaffirms that leaky mode waveguides continue to hold a unique place within spatial light modulation for holographic video displays.more » « less

In this Note, we describe a test rig for optimizing the trapping parameters of optical trap displays. This rig allows targeted experimentation on software, hardware, and environmental variables. These variables affect the success and robustness of particle trapping. We demonstrate the operation of the rig in a handful of example experiments while achieving an average standard error of less than 1% and an accuracy of over 98% at a reduced size, user overhead, and cost, allowing for rapid development of optical trap display research.more » « less
