Directed by successfully manufacturing the computer-generated hologram (CGH) using the computer-to-film (CtF) process, we present, to the best of our knowledge, a new method for low-cost and fast hologram manufacturing. This new method allows for advances in the CtF process and manufacturing using new techniques in hologram production. These techniques include computer-to-plate, offset printing, and surface engraving utilizing the same CGH calculations and prepress. With an advantage in cost and the possibility to be mass manufactured, the aforementioned techniques combined with the presented method have a solid foundation to be implemented as security elements.

Computer-generated holography (CGH) is an advanced technology for three-dimensional (3D) displays. While the stochastic gradient descent (SGD) method is effective for holographic optimization, its application to holographic video displays is computationally expensive, as each frame requires separate optimization. To address this, we propose a novel, to the best of our knowledge, clustering optimization strategy to accelerate the SGD process for holographic video displays.

Generating computer-generated holograms (CGHs) for 3D scenes by learning-based methods can reconstruct arbitrary 3D scenes with higher quality and faster speed. However, the homogenization and difficulty of obtaining 3D high-resolution datasets seriously limit the generalization ability of the model. A novel approach is proposed to train 3D encoding models based on convolutional neural networks (CNNs) using 2D image datasets.

The photon-energy conversion covering the full spectral wave band is crucial for detecting and storing information. Schottky junctions in nanoscale such as TiO:Ag enable multicolor photochromism and information storage in the visible region. However, the photoelectrons from the UV-excited semiconductor cause the loss of information.

Optical vortices (OVs), as eigenmodes of optical orbital angular momentum, have been widely used in particle micro-manipulation. Recently, perfect optical vortices (POVs), a subclass of OVs, are gaining increasing interest and becoming an indispensable tool in optical trapping due to their unique property of topological charge-independent vortex radius. Here, we expand the concept of POVs by proposing concentric ring optical traps (CROTs) and apply them to trapping and rotating particles.

An interesting security method for a multiple-image authentication scheme is proposed based on computer-generated holograms and a logistic map. First, each original image is encoded as the complex-valued hologram under the point light source model. The resulting hologram is then converted to a phase-only hologram using the Floyd-Steinberg dithering algorithm.
