Description
Summary:Conventional studies on digital hologram printer have mainly been conducted on image generation and reconstruction such as multi-view image generation method, computer-generated hologram (CGH) and a method of displaying a wave-front for a 3D object. However, There should be a criterion to evaluate the quality of the reconstructed image because hologram printer use photosensitive recording interference patterns in holographic material. For this reason, The evaluation method of the completed hologram using a digital hologram printer is focused on how well it came out without aberration or how high intensity of light has been reconstructed. However polarization has an effect on hologram regeneration efficiency because holography uses a laser that generates electromagnetic waves. Hologram recording method is usually to match linear polarization in the same direction. but digital hologram printer composed of complex optical components that causes a phase shifting due to a setup error. it will be a problem for resulting in unwanted polarization at the final recording plane. In this paper, we analyzed the possible polarization changes and analyze the optimal polarization matching status using values from hologram results and use them as a study to improve the efficiency of hologram result from holographic printer.
