Non-Fourier Computer Generated Holography for 3-D Display

Abstract

Computer Generated Holograms are used for a variety of purposes. One promising approach is to use them to provide three dimensional views of an object. The methods currently in use to develop computer generated holograms use the Fast Fourier Transform and are not geared toward developing three dimensional images. This thesis effort developed a method to produce a computer generated hologram by implementing an equation almost identical to that of the general form of scalar diffraction theory. This method will theoretically allow computer generated holograms to me made for a wider range of objects. The interference pattern for a cube was calculated using this method. An electron beam lithography machine was used to transform this pattern to a glass plate. (JHD)
