Abstract

In a device with a laser for image presentation in which the laser emits laser light of a defined coherence length L at a given wavelength .lambda. and in which there is arranged in the path of the laser light a first structure with which phase displacements can be carried out for individual photons of the laser light in accordance with a predetermined distribution, it is provided that the average path given by the ratio of the average root mean square of the phase displacement formed by the distribution and the magnitude of the wave vector k=2.pi./.lambda. of the laser is greater than the coherence length L multiplied by a factor of 1/(12).sup.1/2.
