Sampling and error analysis of radial symmetric interpolation for fast hologram generation
Abstract:
In this paper, we present a fast hologram pattern generation method by radial symmetric interpolation, which exploits concentric redundancy of a point hologram pattern to reduce computational complexity in hologram pattern calculation, and analyze the quality degradation sources in the proposed method. Compared to the analytic method in which phase and amplitude information is directly calculated from a wave equation, in our method a Fresnel zone plate is periodically sampled along a diagonal line and the wave information of a point hologram is calculated by linear interpolation. During these sampling and interpolation processes, the wave information can be modified from the original signal and the reconstruction quality can be degraded compared to the analytic pattern calculation method. The effects of sampling and linear interpolation are investigated in spatial and frequency domains.
