Abstract Digital holography has indeed led to numerous advancement of the classical, analog holographic technology that only permits a hologram to be permanently recorded onto a photographic film. In digital…

Abstract In this chapter, a number of quick methods for generating digital Fresnel holograms are introduced. For an object comprising a small number of depth planes, the layer-based method implemented…

Abstract The fundamental principles of optical holography for capturing the optical waves of physical objects, and its difference from photography, are described. A photograph can only record a single view…

Abstract In Chapter 3 a number of methods were described for generating a phase-only hologram of an object. However, these methods are not applicable if the source image of the…

Abstract Phase-only Fresnel holograms have two major advantages over complex-valued or amplitude-only hologram. First, they can be displayed with a single phase-only SLM, leading to simplification on the holographic display…
