Hologram Calculation, Printing, and Reconstruction Based on Light-in-Flight Recording by Holography

Abstract

Light-in-flight recording by holography can record light propagation with a single-shot exposure in principle and can reconstruct it as spatially and temporally continuous motion pictures. We calculated computer-generated holograms based on light-in-flight recording by holography, and printed them by a wavefront printer in order to prove the validity of the numerical simulation model based on light-in-flight recording by holography. Because we reconstructed motion pictures of light propagation from the printed holograms, we successfully showed the validity of the numerical simulation model.
