Image optimization of a computer-generated hologram by reusing zero-order beams and reflectors vibration

In computer-generated holography, spatial light modulators are predominantly used for image reconstruction. However, the quality of the reconstructed images is often compromised by laser speckle and zero-order light diffraction. To address these problems, we propose the reuse of the zero-order beam, which not only eliminates the interference caused by zero-order diffraction in the reconstructed images but also considerably enhances image brightness. Moreover, we propose the use of vibrating reflectors in the proposed structure for reusing the zero-order beam to reduce speckle, thereby suppressing the speckle contrast in reconstructed images to less than 4%.
