Abstract
Holographic displays offer a promising solution for realistic 3D displays by reconstructing the full wavefront of a scene. However, achieving simultaneous multi-depth viewing without complex mechanical components or highspeed hardware remains a challenge. In this paper, we propose and demonstrate a compact, scalable off-axis holographic display architecture that enables multi-plane reconstruction through a single viewing path. The system utilizes cascaded beam splitters to divide the reconstructed holographic wavefront into multiple optical paths with screens at different depths. The proposed approach is validated with experimental demonstrations of dual-depth reconstructions and three-plane reconstructions. While current results exhibit some superposition noise, the proposed architecture provides a flexible and modular foundation for the development of 3D holographic displays with multi-depth viewing.
