Angular spectrum Gerchberg - Saxton Algorithm

Calculates the phase distribution in a object plane (for a given amplitude constrain) to obtain an specific amplitude distribution in the target plane. It uses the Gerchberg - Saxton algorithm for the angular spectrum propagation.

ARGUMENTS:

z Propagation distance. This is used to calculate the resolution needed in the object plane, for a given target resolution.
target Field instance whose amplitude distribution is used to represent the amplitude constrain to be applied in the target plane. The phase of this field is not used.
estimate

Field instance used as initial estimate for the problem. The amplitude of this field is taken as the reference amplitude and the phase is obtained. It must have the same resolution as the target field.

If not given, a unitary amplitude wave, with random phase and the correct resolution, is used.
iterations Maximum number of iterations
error Expected error

Note

target and object must have the same wavelength

RETURN VALUE:

(holo,err)

holo
Field instance, containing the reference amplitude
information and the phase obtained from the iterative algorithm. The holo.res attribute contains the resolution of the calculated hologram for the given propagation distance. The holo.l attribute contains the wavelength used to calculate the hologram.
err Final error obtained

Far field Gerchberg - Saxton Algorithm

Calculates the phase distribution in a object plane (for a given amplitude constrain) to obtain an specific amplitude distribution in the target plane. It uses the Gerchberg - Saxton algorithm for Fraunhoffer propagation. A FFT implementation of the Fraunhoffer Transform is used.

ARGUMENTS:

z Propagation distance. This is used to calculate the resolution needed in the object plane, for a given target resolution.
target Field instance whose amplitude distribution is used to represent the amplitude constrain to be applied in the target plane. The phase of this field is not used.
estimate Field instance used as initial estimate for the problem. The amplitude of this field is taken as the reference amplitude and the phase is obtained. The resolution used to define this field must match the value needed to obtain the required target resolution when the FFT-Fraunhoffer transform is used. If the wrong value is given an exception is raised. If not given, a unitary amplitude wave, with random phase and the correct resolution, is used.
iterations Maximum number of iterations
error Expected error

Note

target and object must have the same wavelength

RETURN VALUE:

holo
Field instance, containing the reference amplitude
information and the phase obtained from the iterative algorithm. The holo.res attribute contains the resolution of the calculated hologram for the given propagation distance. The holo.l attribute contains the wavelength used to calculate the hologram.
