Error diffusion in cell-oriented Fourier-transform computer-generated holograms to compensate for printing constraints

Abstract

Error-diffused quantization has been applied to the generation of cell-oriented computer-generated Fourier transform holograms, resulting in reduced reconstruction errors. Improvements are demonstrated when applied to the algorithms of Lohmann, Lee and Burckhardt after invoking realistic constraints on the minimum size of the printable spot for an electrophotographic laser printer.
