Potential application of a green fiber laser in laser display systems

Abstract

This study explores the application of optical fiber lasers in display systems by integrating a Pr3+-doped green all-fiber laser into a laser projection display system. As a control group to compare the results, a 520 nm semiconductor green laser diode module was integrated, similar to the experimental group. The color gamut and speckle performances were studied and compared. The results showed that the experimental group performed slightly better in the color gamut volume. The speckle contrast decreased rapidly in the experimental group when power increased. To our knowledge, this is the first study to apply a fiber laser to a laser display system. The results shed light on developing laser display systems with fewer or no speckle reduction elements.
