Digital Frequency Filtering and Numerical Reconstruction of Computer Generated Hologram

Digital filtering method for frequency domain is employed to process conventional and modified off-axis reference beam computer generated holograms, then the spatial spectra of zero order image and one twin image can be eliminated, and single clear virtual image or real image can be reconstructed numerically. In this paper, fast Fourier transform algorithm is used to calculate the Fresnel diffraction integration, and the total digitization of design, fabrication, frequency filtering, and reconstruction procedures are achieved successfully. The numeric simulation by computer shows that this method has some advantages such as high signal-to-noise ratio, convenient operation procedures, fast computing speed, and high flexibility.
