Abstract
This paper discusses questions of the design and fabrication of wide-angle
optical systems for helmet-mounted displays (HDs). The requirements imposed on such
systems are determined and analyzed. Questions of the design of the key elements of
HDs--spectral and polarization combiners--are considered. We have proposed synthesized
volume holograms as spectral combiners. The optical and operational properties of
holographic optical elements based on volume holograms written by recording a volume
interference pattern by the Denisyuk method are analyzed and compared. Color distortions
of exterior space observed through a combiner are investigated. Questions of
synthesizing a projection objective are considered. The results of the design, analysis,
and testing of optical systems for HDs are presented.
