Diffractive optical elements generation by layer-based methods for rapid and high-quality formation of 3D-objects

The article is devoted to the generation of diffractive optical elements and computer holograms for forming three-dimensional images. Possibilities of increasing the speed of diffractive optical elements generation and the quality of reconstructed 3D-objects were investigated. Four methods of optical elements generation were analyzed. The methods use division the 3D-objects into fl at layers. The quality of 3D-object reconstruction and time generation by the methods were assessed. 3D-object reconstruction from generated optical elements was modeled. Optical formation of objects was performed by displaying optical elements onto liquid crystal spatial light modulator. It was found that the best quality of reconstruction was provided by iterative parallel ping-pong and non-convex optimization methods. The optimal ratio of reconstruction quality to generation speed ratio was obtained for the parallel ping-pong method. The possibility of fast formation high-quality three-dimensional scenes consisting of dozens of layers has been demonstrated.
