Abstract

Many implementations of computer generated holograms (CGH’s) or diffractive optical elements (DOE’s) onto spatial light modulators (SLM’s) have already been considered. In this paper, we first review the various types of SLM’s available for DOE’s and the implementations of DOE’s onto SLM’s already reported in the literature. Then we investigate the point in displaying DOE’s onto SLM’s that couple phase and amplitude modulations, such as twisted nematic-liquid crystal displays (TN-LCD's): we provide computer simulations as well as experimental results.
