EVALUATION OF DIFFRACTION EFFICIENCY AND IMAGE QUALITY IN OPTICAL RECONSTRUCTION OF DIGITAL FRESNEL HOLOGRAMS

摘要

We evaluate diffraction efficiency and image quality in the process of optical reconstruction of the digital holograms, which are displayed on spatial light modulators (SLM) with 2 and 256 brightness levels. The dependences of the above-mentioned parameters on the ratio between the intensities of the object and reference waves during recording of digital holograms are found. Numerically synthesized digital Fresnel holograms were used for modeling of the optical image retrieval. The results of the analysis were used to determine the ratios of intensities of the object and reference waves, at which the best ratios of diffraction efficiency and quality of the optically reconstructed images are achieved in the cases of using the amplitude and phase SLMs.
