A method of manufacturing a holographic optical element, including: irradiating a first surface of a photosensitive substrate with a first layer, and irradiating a second surface of the photosensitive substrate with a second laser. The light emitted by the first laser is spread in an irradiation direction and the light emitted by the second laser is collected in the irradiation direction to form a plurality of groups and a plurality of overlapping angles formed by a progress direction of the light emitted by the first laser and the progress direction of the light emitted by the second laser at a predetermined location of a photosensitive area, and each of the plurality of the overlapping angles are different from each other. A display device including the holographic optical element measured using this method.

Some embodiments are directed to a technique having an off-axis interferometric geometry that is capable of spatially multiplexing at least six complex wavefronts, while using the same number of camera pixels typically needed for a single off-axis hologram encoding a single complex wavefront. Each of the at least six parallel complex wavefronts is encoded into an off-axis hologram with a different fringe orientation, and all complex wavefronts can be fully reconstructed. This technique is especially useful for highly dynamic samples, as it allows the acquisition of at least six complex wavefronts simultaneously, optimizing the amount of information that can be acquired in a single camera exposure. The off-axis multiplexing holographic system of some embodiments provide an off-axis holography modality that is more camera spatial bandwidth efficient than on-axis holography. Moreover, the off-axis interferometric system allows simple simultaneous acquisition of at least six holographic channels, making it attractive for imaging dynamics.
