COMPUTER MODEL OF HOLOGRAM SYNTHESIS BY THE REAL PHASE

Computer-synthesized holograms are widely used in areas such as optical information processing, image recognition, three-dimensional display of digital data, and modelling of holographic processes. It is difficult to overestimate the usefulness of the use of synthesized holograms for image reconstruction in acoustic and microwave holography. The use of synthesized holograms as elements of holographic storage devices is promising. Computer synthesis is often the only way to obtain holograms with desired properties. The main advantage of the synthesized hologram is that it is an effective means for converting digital information into optical. Due to this, it is possible to create hybrid-computing systems that are unique in performance, including digital electronic and optical processors and combining the flexibility and versatility of an electronic computer with the enormous performance inherent in an optical processor due to the parallelism of optical information processing. The use of digital holograms as elements in holographic storage devices is promising.
