Coherent backlight is an essential component for holographic displays. In this paper, a compact design of edge-lit coherent backlight featuring two holographic optical elements for two-dimensional beam expansion is presented. Its diffraction efficiency is numerically studied using the coupled-wave theory. In experiments, the diffraction efficiency is measured as 4.3% and the feasibility of this design is verified by reconstructing 3D images with a spatial light modulator.
