Abstract

One of the detour-phase computer-generated-hologram encoding methods was improved for obtaining two objects simultaneously without increasing the plotter resolution. The encoded patterns were reconstructed along two orthogonal diffraction directions. Such a hologram could be useful for two-channel coherent or incoherent optical correlation. Laboratory experiments demonstrate the suggested technique.
