Multiplane full-color phase-only holograms generation based on iterative algorithm with a modified amplitude constraint

Abstract

Depth-division multiplexing (DDM) is distinguished for generating full-color holograms. However, this method is confronted with such issues as poor quality and severe crosstalk when reconstructing multiplane color images. In this paper, we propose an improved iterative method based on Gerchberg-Saxton (GS) algorithm to generate multiplane full-color phase-only holograms (POHs), and the information of red (R), green (G), and blue (B) channels of images is recorded in three POHs, respectively. In the iterative process, we introduce an improved hologram plane constraint that consists of modified amplitudes given a static weighting factor, and display the reconstruction results for three-layer images, which ultimately improve the quality of the reconstructed images and effectively avoid the crosstalk among different color channels. And compared with GS algorithm, our method can effectively balance the reconstruction quality of three-color channels of each image. The feasibility of the method is verified by numerical simulations and optical experiments.
