High-accuracy method for holographic image projection with suppressed speckle noise

Iterative Fourier transform algorithms are widely used for creating holograms in holographic image projection. However, the reconstructed image always suffers from the speckle noise severely due to the uncontrolled phase distribution of the image. In this paper, a new iterative method is proposed to eliminate the speckle noise. In the iteration, the amplitude and phase in the signal window in the output plane are constrained to the desired distribution and a special object-dependent quadratic phase distribution, respectively. Since the phase of the reconstructed image is assigned artificially, the speckle noise came from the destructive interference between the sampling points with random and erratic phase distribution can be eliminated. To verify the method, simulations and experiments are performed. And the result shows that high quality, low noise images can be achieved.
