    Area of Science:

    • Optics and Photonics
    • Computational Imaging
    • Holography

    Background:

    • Point-spread functions (PSFs) are non-stationary signals crucial for numerical diffraction calculations.
    • Traditional disk-shaped PSFs limit bandwidth utilization (approx. 78.5%) and can lead to aliasing artifacts.
    • Efficient computation of PSFs is vital for high-resolution holograms and wavefront recording.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To derive a novel, optimally shaped PSF that maximizes bandwidth utilization.
    • To improve the accuracy and visual quality of computer-generated holograms (CGHs).
    • To reduce signal error in numerical diffraction calculations.

    Main Methods:

    • Derivation of a novel, optimally shaped PSF based on bounding hyperbolas.
    • Evaluation of the proposed pincushion PSF through numerical experiments.
    • Comparison of the pincushion PSF with traditional disk-shaped PSFs.

    Main Results:

    • The novel pincushion PSF fully utilizes the hologram's bandwidth.
    • Over three-fold reduction in signal error was achieved.
    • Significant improvements in the visual quality of CGHs were observed, especially at high viewing angles.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed pincushion PSF offers a more efficient and accurate alternative to disk-shaped PSFs.
    • This advancement enables higher quality and more visually realistic CGHs.
    • The method has implications for accelerating numerical diffraction calculations in holographic applications.
