Abstract
A novel method of encoding a phase hologram that uses less than pi rad ians of phase is described. The technique is based on Lee's delayed sa mpling method for amplitude holograms. It was devised for use with liq uid crystal spatial light modulators with limited phase modulation cap ability. Results are compared with Lee's method and binary phase holog rams and show improved image quality. (C) 1998 Society of Photo-Optica l Instrumentation Engineers. [S0091-3286(98)02205-3].
