Realtime hologram generation using iterative methods

Abstract

This paper discusses the necessities for holograms to be generated in realtime for both telecommunications and video applications. Implications for implementing a fixed-point version of Direct Binary Search (DBS) in silicon studied, along with a more detailed look at the implementation and results collected for a realtime DBS method in a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). The paper looks forward to future architectures and makes suggestions based on the trend of capabilities of FPGAs.
