Abstract

Computer-Generated Holography (CGH) reconstructs Three-Dimensional (3D) scene by encoding information into holograms. Traditional CGH algorithms decompose the 3D scenes into multiple planes at different depth levels and simulate light propagation between these planes. However, conventional light propagation methods used in CGH are limited to plane-to-plane simulations, which may increase computational demands when a 3D scene is represented with numerous successive planes. We introduce a novel learned model that simulates light propagation from a single hologram plane to multiple planes in a single forward pass. In this way, our method can help reduce the computational complexity of optimizing 3D holograms in CGH algorithms.
