Mixed constraint in global and sequential hologram generation

Abstract

In this paper, we implement a mixed constraint scheme with a global Gerchberg–Saxton algorithm for the improved generation of phase holograms from multiplane intensity distributions. We evaluate the performance of the proposed method compared to the mixed constraint sequential Gerchberg–Saxton algorithm, as well as the implementation of both schemes in several scenarios involving intensity distributions of up to nine independent planes. We also show that a careful selection of the parameters involved in the mixed constraint hologram generation technique can lead to even greater improvements in reconstruction quality. We present numerical results validating the effectiveness of our proposal.
