Optimized computer-generated hologram for enhancing depth cue based on complex amplitude modulation
Abstract:
In this Letter, we introduce a computer-generated hologram (CGH) optimization method to enhance the depth cue based on complex amplitude modulation (CAM). An iterative algorithm is designed to generate the optimized random phase (ORAP) according to the size of the target image and the bandwidth limitation condition. The ORAP with limited bandwidth is used as the initial phase of the target image and the hologram is encoded based on the analytical formula. Our proposal can maintain the advantages of CAM and achieve holographic three-dimensional (3D) display with an enhanced depth cue. It is expected that the proposed method could be widely used in holographic field in the future.

Phase Contrast and Differential Interference Contrast Microscopy
In-phase-contrast microscopes, interference between light directly passing through a cell and light refracted by cellular components is used to create high-contrast, high-resolution images without staining. It is the oldest and simplest type of microscope that creates an image by altering the wavelengths of light rays passing through the specimen. Altered wavelength paths are created using an annular stop in the condenser. The annular stop produces a hollow cone of...
