Computer-Generated Phase-Only Holograms for 3D Displays : A Matlab Approach

Exploring essential concepts, theories and formulations of phase-only Fresnel holograms, this book provides comprehensive coverage of modern methods for generating such holograms. It is an up-to-date treatment of the topic for engineers in industry, students and researchers in engineering, physics, information technology and multimedia technology.

''Phase-only Fresnel holograms,'' which can be displayed on a single SLM without the need for lenses or complicated optical accessories, substantially simplifies 3-D holographic display systems. Exploring essential concepts, theories, and formulations of these phase-only Fresnel holograms, this book provides comprehensive coverage of modern methods for generating such holograms, which pave the way for commercial products such as compact holographic projectors, heads-up displays, and data security enhancement. Relevant MATLAB codes are provided for readers to implement and evaluate the theories and formulations of different methods, and can be used as a quick start framework for further research and development. This is a crucial and up-to-date treatment of phase-only Fresnel holograms for students and researchers in electrical and electronic engineering, computer science/engineering, applied physics, information technology, and multimedia technology, as well as engineers and scientists in industry developing new products on 3-D displays and holographic projection.
