本論文主要研究溫度相關之液晶透鏡對於全息光學元件(Holographic Optical Elements, HOEs)製作與光學性能之影響。實驗使用圓孔型電極液晶透鏡(Hole-Patterned Electrode Liquid Crystal Lens)之電極設計，先行以相位延遲環及焦距等表徵評估其光學能力，將溫度相關液晶透鏡在相同焦距之相位延遲環分佈情形以二次曲線方程式進行擬合得到其均方根值(Root Mean Square, RMS)，結果顯示在相同焦距下，溫度30℃之液晶透鏡其RMS數值較小於溫度25℃之液晶透鏡。此外，兩者在球面像差量測之比較，亦顯示30℃下的液晶透鏡其球面像差數值略小於25℃下之液晶透鏡。雖然溫度因素可以改善液晶透鏡之光學能力，但以單一液晶透鏡施作全息光學元件仍無法得到理想之菲涅爾區圖樣(Fresnel Zone Pattern)，因此，製作透鏡全息光學元件將以液晶透鏡結合玻璃透鏡之組合透鏡進行，其結果可在全息干涉中得到理想之菲涅爾區圖樣。分別以相同焦距之30℃與25℃液晶透鏡結合玻璃透鏡施作之透鏡全息光學元件之結果顯示，30℃液晶透鏡所製作之全息光學元件其影像重建表現皆優於25℃液晶透鏡製作之透鏡全息光學元件。

This paper concentrates on utilizing liquid crystal lenses for recording holographic optical elements. The temperature dependence liquid crystal lenses used to fabricate holographic optical elements (HOEs) to attempt achieving better optical performance. Optical characteristics at various temperatures are assessed, revealing that temperature-controlled liquid crystal lenses demonstrate reduced spherical aberration values. However, when each type of liquid crystal lens is separately employed in recording holographic optical elements, satisfactory results regarding the Fresnel zone pattern are not attained. Hence, experiments are conducted by integrating the liquid crystal lenses with glass lenses. The results show that the optical imaging ability of the holographic optical elements fabricated using the combined lenses is enhanced, indicating that temperature control does contribute to the recording of holographic optical elements.
