Project Description
FPGA-Based Real-Time Laser Plasma Volumetric Display Controller
Overview:
I'm building a volumetric holographic display system using laser-excited plasma. The core challenge is a real-time FPGA controller that synchronizes laser pulses, galvanometer mirrors, and sensor feedback with sub-10 microsecond latency. Think Tony Stark holograms — that's the end goal.
What I need built:
A Verilog module that controls laser pulse timing, reads x/y/z sensor coordinates, calculates next plasma position, and drives galvo mirror signals — all within a tight real-time feedback loop. Simulation in Xilinx Vivado first, then synthesis onto FPGA hardware.
You need to know:
Verilog / VHDL
FPGA development (Xilinx preferred)
Real-time control systems
Basic understanding of laser or optics systems is a plus
Deliverables:
Vivado project with full simulation testbench
Timing verified under 10 microseconds end-to-end
Clean documented code ready for hardware synthesis
This is a serious research project with long-term scope. Looking for someone sharp who understands real-time hardware constraints, not just someone who writes Verilog mechanically.
