New method for the design of a phase-only computer hologram for multiplane reconstruction

A new iterative method for creating a pure phase hologram to diffract light into two arbitrary two-dimensional intensity profiles in two output planes is presented. This new method combines the Gerchberg-Saxton (GS) iterative algorithm and the compensation iterative algorithm. Numerical simulation indicates that the new method outperforms the most frequently used method in accuracy when it is used to generate large size images. A preliminary experiment of optical reconstruction has been taken and used to verify the feasibility of our method.
