Computer-Generated Phase-Only Holograms for 3D Displays

‘Phase-only Fresnel holograms’, which can be displayed on a single SLM without the need of lenses or complicated optical accessories, substantially simplifies the 3-D holographic display system. 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, head-up display, and data security enhancement. Relevant MATLAB(R) 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. 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 display and holographic projection, this is a crucial and up-to-date treatment of Phase-only Fresnel holograms.
