Frequency-based optimized random phase for computer-generated holographic display.

ABSTRACT

Random phases with all frequency components lead to excessive diffusions of object waves, resulting in loss of detail in holographic reconstructions. In this study, the effects of random phases with various frequencies on holographic reconstruction results are evaluated. The optimized maximal value of the random phases is analyzed. Utilizing the evaluation results, we propose a frequency-based optimized random phase that reduces the unfavorable effect of the insufficient dynamic range of computer-generated holograms and prevents excessive diffusions by traditional random phases. Utilizing the optimized random phase, which improves the reconstruction quality significantly, we can commendably reconstruct both contours and details.
