Direct amplitude-only hologram realized by broken symmetry.

ABSTRACT: Holographic displays have been a long-standing ambition for decades to realize true-to-life reconstruction. However, their practical adoption is hindered by their subpar image quality compared to two-dimensional displays, which is fundamentally limited by restricted spatial frequency bandwidth and artifacts. We address the limitation by using a symmetry-broken amplitude-only spatial light modulator, demonstrating image quality comparable to that of two-dimensional displays. The broken conjugate symmetry induced by phase noise of modulators eliminates conjugate image that causes issues in amplitude-only holograms and allows direct reconstruction without additional optical elements. The proposed method provides enhanced robustness against artifacts caused by sub-pixel structures of modulators, enabling experimental reconstruction of high-quality holograms. The full bandwidth and the robustness result in a 5-decibel improvement in peak signal-to-noise ratio compared to state-of-the-art holograms. Furthermore, the hologram has 24 times higher optical efficiency and a smaller volume than the traditional amplitude-only holograms while real-time synthesis is enabled by using a neural network.

Project description:Achieving long-lived symmetry-broken charge-separated states in chromophoric assemblies is quintessential for enhanced performance of artificial photosynthetic mimics. However, the occurrence of energy trap states hinders exciton and charge transport across photovoltaic devices, diminishing power conversion efficiency. Herein, we demonstrate unprecedented excimer formation in the relaxed excited-state geometry of bichromophoric systems impeding the lifetime of symmetry-broken charge-separated states. Core-annulated perylenediimide dimers (SC-SPDI2 and SC-NPDI2) prefer a near-orthogonal arrangement in the ground state and a π-stacked foldamer structure in the excited state. The prospect of an excimer-like state in the foldameric arrangement of SC-SPDI2 and SC-NPDI2 has been rationalized by fragment-based excited state analysis and temperature-dependent photoluminescence measurements. Effective electronic coupling matrix elements in the Franck-Condon geometry of SC-SPDI2 and SC-NPDI2 facilitate solvation-assisted ultrafast symmetry-breaking charge-separation (SB-CS) in a high dielectric environment, in contrast to unrelaxed excimer formation (Ex*) in a low dielectric environment. Subsequently, the SB-CS state dissociates into an undesired relaxed excimer state (Ex) due to configuration mixing of a Frenkel exciton (FE) and charge-separated state in the foldamer structure, downgrading the efficacy of the charge-separated state. The decay rate constant of the FE to SB-CS (k FE→SB-CS) in polar solvents is 8-17 fold faster than that of direct Ex* formation (k FE→Ex*) in non-polar solvent (k FE→SB-CS≫k FE→Ex*), characterized by femtosecond transient absorption (fsTA) spectroscopy. The present investigation establishes the impact of detrimental excimer formation on the persistence of the SB-CS state in chromophoric dimers and offers the requisite of conformational rigidity as one of the potential design principles for developing advanced molecular photovoltaics.
