Abstract
A holographic projection system based on the encoding of computer-generated holograms onto a spatial light modulator is discussed. We show how the size, location, and polarization state of the output can be controlled completely electronically, without physically moving any element in the system. It is finally shown that the system is capable to produce optical logical operations by superimposing two different images encoded onto orthogonal polarization states. We show how these images can be added or subtracted, giving a polarization-based logic system. Experimental results are included in all cases.
