Semi-analytic texturing algorithm for polygon computer-generated holograms.

A texturing method for the semi-analytic polygon computer-generated hologram synthesis algorithm is studied. Through this, the full-potential and development direction of the semi-analytic polygon computer-generated holograms are discussed and compared to that of the conventional numerical algorithm of polygon computer-generated hologram generation based on the fast Fourier transform and bilinear interpolation. The theoretical hurdle of the semi-analytic texturing algorithm is manifested and an approach to resolve this problen. A key mathematical approximation in the angular spectrum computer-generated hologram computation, as well as the trade-offs between texturing effects and computational efficiencies are analyzed through numerical simulation. In this fundamental study, theoretical potential of the semi-analytic polygon computer-generated hologram algorithm is revealed and the ultimate goal of research into the algorithm clarified.
