摘要

Abstract

Three-dimensional (3D) imaging technology holds immense potential across various high-tech applications; however

current display technologies are hindered by limitations such as restricted viewing angles

cumbersome headgear

and limited multi-user accessibility. To address these challenges

researchers are actively exploring new materials and techniques for 3D imaging. Laser-based volumetric displays (VDs) offer a promising solution; nonetheless

existing screen materials fall short in meeting key requirements for long-term durability

full-color operation

and scalability. In this study

we present a comprehensive investigation into easily scalable rare-earth (RE

) doped monolithic glasses (RE = Ho

Yb) capable of tunable full-color emission using a novel excitation modulation technique under 808 nm and 980 nm laser excitation and demonstrate their implementation as laser-based VD materials through prototyping. By controlling the movement of lasers’ pulses and galvanometer mirrors with waveform generators

our system generates images in simple and complex shapes with high purity red

green

and blue (RGB) colors. These images can be manipulated

including actions like translation

rotation

expansion

and sequential movement within the monolithic glass screen material. Our findings showcase the potential of glass-based dynamic VDs in revolutionizing display technology

offering superior color purity

vividness

and performance in comparison to conventional display systems.
