We present a method for computer-generated holography (CGH) in which different images are reproduced on both sides of a hologram with a single illumination source. In the proposed method, we use a transmissive spatial light modulator (SLM) and a half mirror (HM) located downstream of the SLM. The light modulated by the SLM is partially reflected by the HM, and the reflected light is modulated again by the SLM for the double-sided image reproduction. We derive an algorithm for double-sided CGH and experimentally demonstrate it.

To harness its potential specifically in optical communication, data encryption, and optical trapping, it is necessary to tailor a multitude of these beams with arbitrary and large topological charge and polarization distribution. However, achieving the above-mentioned requires bulky optical setups that necessitate the superposition of two beams or involve complex material fabrication techniques that can directly generate these beams.

- Cylindrical holography is gaining popularity for its 360° viewing capabilities, but traditional methods using stochastic gradient descent (SGD) struggle with slow and unstable convergence, hindering its commercial quality.
- The paper introduces a new approach called preloaded SGD (PSGD) with a skip connection, which significantly speeds up the convergence process and stabilizes the output, leading to better-quality cylindrical holograms.
- Numerical simulations show that the new method (SC-PSGD) offers a 6.3-fold improvement in speed compared to standard SGD, highlighting its potential for use in cylindrical and 3D holographic displays.
In computer-generated holography, spatial light modulators are predominantly used for image reconstruction. However, the quality of the reconstructed images is often compromised by laser speckle and zero-order light diffraction. To address these problems, we propose the reuse of the zero-order beam, which not only eliminates the interference caused by zero-order diffraction in the reconstructed images but also considerably enhances image brightness.
