Holographic three-dimensional display is an important display technique because it can
provide all depth information of a real or virtual scene without any special eyewear. In recent …

This Roadmap article on digital holography provides an overview of a vast array of research
activities in the field of digital holography. The paper consists of a series of 25 sections from …

Modal decomposition of light has been known for a long time, applied mostly to pattern
recognition. With the commercialization of liquid-crystal devices, digital holography as an …

A digital micromirror device (DMD) is a product of micromechanics. The DMD employs
numerous micromirrors as the actuating components to switch small portions of light on and …

We report a new type of holographic interface, which is able to manipulate the three
fundamental properties of light (phase, amplitude, and polarization) over a broad …

Whether in art or for QR codes, images have proven to be both powerful and efficient
carriers of information. Spatial light modulators allow an unprecedented level of control over …

The purpose of this study is to implement speckle reduced three-dimensional (3-D)
holographic display by single phase-only spatial light modulator (SLM). The complex …

We show that the amplitude and phase information from a two-dimensional complex field
can be synthesized from a phase-only optical element with micrometric resolution. The …

The light propagation in the medium normally experiences diffraction, dispersion, and
scattering. Studying the light propagation is a century-old problem as the photons may …

We present a method for full spatial phase and amplitude control of a laser beam using a
twisted nematic LCD combined with a spatial filter. By spatial filtering we combine four …
