Color representation method using RGB color binary-weighted computer-generated holograms

We propose a method for color electroholography using a simple red-green-blue （RGB） gradation representa- tion method without controlling the respective brightness of tile reference RGB-colored lights. The proposed method uses RGB multiple bit planes comprising RGB binary-weighted computer-generated holograms with various light transmittanees. The object points of a given three-dimensional （3D） object are assigned to RGB nmltiple bit planes according to their RGB gradation levels. The RGB multiple bit planes are sequentially displayed in a tim-division-multiplexe- manner. Consequently, the proposed method yields a color gradation representation of a reconstructed 3D object.

Real-time color holographic video reconstruction using multiple-graphics processing unit cluster acceleration and three spatial light modulators

We demonstrate real-time three-dimensional(3D)color video using a color electroholographic system with a cluster of multiple-graphics processing units(multi-GPU)and three spatial light modulators(SLMs)corresponding respectively to red,green,and blue(RGB)-colored reconstructing lights.The multi-GPU cluster has a computer-generated hologram(CGH)display node containing a GPU,for displaying calculated CGHs on SLMs,and four CGH calculation nodes using 12 GPUs.The GPUs in the CGH calculation node generate CGHs corresponding to RGB reconstructing lights in a 3D color video using pipeline processing.Real-time color electroholography was realized for a 3D color object comprising approximately 21,000 points per color.

Fast time-division color electroholography using a multiple-graphics processing unit cluster system with a single spatial light modulator

We demonstrate fast time-division color etectroholography using a multiple-graphics-processing-unit （GPU） cluster system with a spatial light modulator and a controller to switch the color of the reconstructing light. The controller comprises a universal serial bus module to drive the liquid crystal optical shutters. By using the controller, the computer-generated hologram （CGH） display node of the multiple-GPU cluster system synchronizes the display of the CGH with the color switching of the reconstructing light. Fast time-division color electroholography at 20 fps is realized for a three-dimensional object comprising 21,000 points per color when 13 GPUs are used in a multiple-GPU cluster system.

Gradation representation method using a binary-weighted computer-generated hologram based on pulse-width modulation

We propose a simple gradation representation method using a binary-weighted computer-generated hologram（CGH） to be displayed on a high-speed spatial light modulator that can be controlled by the pulse-width modulation technique. The proposed method uses multiple bit planes comprising binary-weighted CGHs with various pulse widths. The object points of a three-dimensional（3D） object are assigned to multiple bit planes according to their gray levels. The bit planes are sequentially displayed in a time-division-multiplexed manner.Consequently, the proposed method realizes a gradation representation of a reconstructed 3D object.
