In computer-generated Fresnel holography, direct sampling (DS) and simple shading (SS) are two common ways to generate sampled Fresnel zone plates (FZPs) on the hologram plane. Nevertheless, either aliasing or vignetting, or both, will occur in the reconstructed image when the DS method or the SS method is applied. To avoid vignetting together with aliasing in the two sampling methods, either the object size or the object distance must be restricted in generating the holograms. In this paper we propose a mask-shifting (MS) method to generate the sampled FZPs. The main concept of the MS method is that the center of the FZP can be shifted relative to the center of the mask against the FZP when the FZP is at the margin of the hologram. The shifting of the mask will result in only a phase shift and will not change the intensity distribution of the reconstructed point. Thus, by using the MS method, aliasing and vignetting are simultaneously alleviated in any combination of object size and object distance.

Traditional methods of hologram generation, such as point-, polygon-, and layer-based physical simulation approaches, suffer from substantial computational overhead and generate low-fidelity holograms. Deep learning-based computer-generated holography demonstrates effective performance in terms of speed and hologram fidelity. There is potential to enhance the network's capacity for fitting and modeling in the context of computer-generated holography utilizing deep learning methods.

Phase retrieval methods used in computer generated holograms such as Gerchberg-Saxton and gradient descent give results which are prone to noise and other defects. This work builds up on the idea of time-averaging multiple hologram frames, first introduced in methods like One-Step Phase-Retrieval and Adaptive One-Step Phase-Retrieval. The proposed technique called Multi-Frame Holograms Batched Optimization uses the L-BFGS optimization algorithm to simultaneously generate a batch of binary phase holograms which result in an average reconstructed image of improved fidelity and fast algorithmic convergence, both in the Fraunhoffer and the Fresnel regimes.

In this Letter, we propose a new, to the best of our knowledge, approach to generate computer-generated holograms (CGHs) utilizing spiral phase coding. This method can be applied to generate an array spiral phase plate that can generate array vortex spots with a high compression ratio. Moreover, the method extends its applicability to the generation of Fresnel holograms and kinoforms, resulting in edge-enhanced imaging.

In this paper, we propose a convolutional symmetric compressed look-up-table (CSC-LUT) method to accelerate computer-generated hologram (CGH) computation based on the Fresnel diffraction theory and LUT. The proposed method can achieve one-time high-quality fast generation of color holograms by utilizing dynamic convolution operation, which is divided three processes. Firstly, the pre-calculated data of maximum horizontal modulation factor is compressed in 1D array by coordinate symmetry.
