Holographic Optical Elements (HOE) are well known optical devices which can be used as for example light focusing and/or directing the light to desired areas. Until now, there have been no manufacturing facilities capable to manufacture substantial quantities of volume holographic optical elements with in-application stable properties devoted to being used as taillights or head-up displays in a relatively harsh automotive environment. We describe in this article the working principles of an industrial manufacturing process of holographic optical elements targeting automotive industry needs.
