Abstract

See full text

Methods for creating a plurality of holographic diffraction grating patterns in a raster scan fashion. In accordance with the method, the desired pattern is made up of a large plurality of individual spots, each spot comprising a holographic diffraction grating of a predetermined grating spacing and angular orientation for that spot. Variation of the angular orientation and/or grating spacing between spots and/or groups of spots provide the desired holographic effect. The spot locations may vary as desired, including locations drawing out a desired pattern, and two-dimensional orthogonal matrices in which a pattern is drawn by variations between spots or group of spots as in a raster scan type image. Various embodiments and methods for creating the same are disclosed.
