SLM Simulation and MonteCarlo Path Tracing for Computer-Generated Holograms

Abstract Computer holography is a growing research field that must pay attention to two main issues concerning computing effort: the visualization of 3D virtual scene with photo-realistic quality and bottleneck related hologram digitizalition limits. This work shows computational approach based on Monte Carlo path-tracing algorithm, which accounts for both geometrical physical phenomena involved in generation, and, therefore, makes feasible estimation time costs. As these holograms also require yet unavailable devices, their behavior needs be simulated by computer techniques.
