Accelerated synthesis algorithm of polygon computer-generated holograms

Abstract

For the real-time computation of computer-generated holograms (CGHs), various accelerated algorithms have been actively investigated. This paper proposes a novel concept of sparse computation of polygon CGH, which is inspired by an observation of the sparsity in the angular spectrum of a unit triangular polygon and present the accelerated algorithm using the intrinsic sparsity in the polygon CGH pattern for the enhancement of computational efficiency effectively. It is shown with numerical results that computation efficiency can be greatly improved without degrading the quality of holographic image.
