M. Li et al., CONTINUOUS-LEVEL PHASE-ONLY COMPUTER-GENERATED HOLOGRAM REALIZED BY DISLOCATED BINARY GRATINGS, Optics letters, 21(18), 1996, pp. 1516-1518
It is proposed and experimentally demonstrated that a multilevel or ev
en continuous-level phase-only computer generated hologram can be real
ized by use of a binary (two-level) structure. The desired phase shift
is invoked by introduction of a lateral dislocation of a high-frequen
cy binary grating within each of the elements that constitute the holo
gram. An asymmetrically distributed spot array has been generated expe
rimentally,and a uniformity error of 6% and an efficiency of 42% have
been measured. (C) 1996 Optical Society of America
