Polarimetric Calibrated Robust Dual-SLM Complex-Amplitude Computer-Generated Holography
Liquid crystal on silicon (LCoS) is a widely used spatial light modulator (SLM) in computer-generated holography (CGH). However, the phase-modulating profile of LCoS is often not ideally uniform in application, bringing about undesired intensity fringes. In this study, we overcome this problem by proposing a highly robust dual-SLM complex-amplitude CGH technique, which incorporates a polarimetric mode and a diffractive mode. The polarimetric mode linearizes the general phase modulations of the two SLMs separately, while the diffractive mode uses camera-in-the-loop optimization to achieve improved holographic display. Experimental results show the effectiveness of our proposal in improving reconstructing accuracy by 21.12% in peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) and 50.74% in structure similarity index measure (SSIM), using LCoS SLMs with originally non-uniform phase-modulating profiles.
