Abstract
Nowadays, curved computer-generated holograms are widely applied to increase the field of view. However, heavy computational load restricts the development of curved computer-generated holograms. In this paper, we propose a two-step acceleration calculation method to generate curved holograms by using the intermediate plane, which is placed between the object and a curved computer-generated hologram. The first step is the calculation of the intermediate plane by an improved accurate highly compressed lookup-table method. In the second step, we execute diffraction calculation from the intermediate plane to obtain a curved computer-generated hologram. Numerical simulations and optical experiments are performed to demonstrate that the proposed method is an efficient method for reducing calculation time. Additionally, the increase of field of view using a curved hologram is also numerically demonstrated. It is expected that our method can be combined with a curved display screen to realize three-dimensional holographic displays in the future.
