Abstract
Commercial twisted nematic liquid-crystal television provides coupled phase and amplitude modulation. We propose a simple wedged shear plate interferometer for in situ measurement of its phase modulation and operating curve. For a given operating curve, the coupled-mode modulation holograms are designed with an iterative method. We adjust the operating curve by rotating the polarizer and analyzer to obtain the optimal operating curve. The phase-mostly holograms yield good-quality reconstructed images with the zero-order spot reduced to a minimum. Experimental results are shown.
