Design method of input phase mask to improve light use efficiency and reconstructed image quality for holographic...

A design method of an input phase mask for holographic memory is proposed. In the method, a modification of a design procedure and another restraint condition are applied to our conventional design method. The light use efficiency and the quality of a reconstructed image are improved. The performance of an input phase mask designed by the method is confirmed by numerical simulations. Finally, a suitable design condition of an input phase mask is determined from simulation results.
