Abstract

A synthetic generation of three-dimensional image holograms is suggested. The complex amplitude in the hologram is calculated by using the spectrum of plane waves. Specifically, three-dimensional images are composed of planar and inclined two-dimensional distributions. In display applications, large hologram apertures can be achieved by introducing a remote exit pupil. A synthetic three-dimensional image is optically reconstructed.
