In this paper, we present a speckle-free digital hologram with conversion to an off-axis horizontal-parallax-only (HPO) hologram. First, we record the speckle-free hologram using optical scanning holography. Second, we digitally convert the full-parallax hologram to a horizontal-parallax-only hologram. Third, we convert the horizontal-parallax-only hologram to an off-axis hologram. Finally, we show that the off-axis HPO hologram can be numerically reconstructed in space.

Increasing interest in the metaverse world these days, interest in realistic content such as 3D displays is growing. In particular, hologram images seen in movies provide viewers with an immersive display that cannot be seen in conventional 2D images. Since the first discovery of holography by Dennis Gabor in 1948, this technology has developed rapidly. Spatially, this beginning of technology like Optical hologram called analog hologram and Digital hologram such as computer-generated hologram (CGH). In analog and digital holograms, a recording angle and a recording wavelength are having important role when reproducing and display hologram. In the hologram, diffraction of light causes by unexpected formed by the synthesis from interference with object and reference light. When recording, the incident light information and mismatched reproduction light reconstruct the hologram in an undesirable direction. Reproduction light that is out of sync with incident light information with initial condition of recording will cause reconstructed image in an undesirable direction. Therefore, we analyze the holographic interference pattern generated by hologram recording in volume holograms using photopolymer and analyze the characteristics that vary depending on the angle of the reproduced light. This is expected to be used as a basic research on various holographic application that may cause as holograms are applied to industries in the future.

Since digital hologram includes an amount of data as can be seen at the process of digitization, it is necessary that the data representing digital hologram is reduced for storing, transmission, and processing. As the efforts that are to handle hologram with a type of digital information have been increased, various methods to compress digital hologram called by fringe pattern are groped. Suitable proposal is encoding of digital hologram. This paper analyzed the properties of digital hologram using tools of frequency transform, assuming that a generated digital hologram is a 2D image by introducing Fresnel Transform. The analysis results of digital hologram to be proposed in this paper are being expected to be used as the core techniques for an encoding of digital hologram.

Recently, research on hologram, which can realize perfect 3-dimensional imaging, becomes more active. But hologram has the defect that it costs a lot in generation. Thus, this paper proposes a method to generate a new digital hologram contents by manipulating the existing digital hologram contents. That is, this paper proposes the method to manipulating the digital hologram contents by manipulating and/or synthesizing the depth information to get a new digital hologram contents. The proposed methods have been experimented with various depth informations and digital hologram contents. For each kind of depth information, it has been manipulated for its position and distance. The result was converted to a digital hologram by the computer-generated hologram method and the resulting hologram was reconstructed.

A real-time digital holographic display is the core technology for the next-generation 3DTV. Holographic display requires a considerably large amount of calculation. If generating a large number of digital holograms is intended, the amount of calculation and the time required increase exponentially. This is a significant obstacle in a real-time hologram service. This paper proposes an algorithm that increases the speed of generating a Fresnel hologram by using a recursive addition operation covering the entire coordinate array of a digital hologram. The 3D object designed to calculate the digital hologram uses a depth-map image produced by computer graphics. The proposed algorithm is a technique that performs the computer-generated holography (CGH) operation with only recursive addition of all of the hologram's coordinates by analyzing the regularity between the 3D object and the digital hologram coordinates. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm increases the operation speed by 70% over the technique using the conventional CGH equation and by more than 30% over the previously proposed recursive technique.

This paper proposes a method to manipulate digital hologram contents by manipulating and/or synthesizing the depth information. To synthesize digital holograms themselves in order to create new digital hologram contents. This paper uses both the depth information obtained by converting the disparity information by using a stereo matching method and that obtained by taking pictures with a depth camera. In addition, assuming that digital holograms are created using the computer-generated holography method, we propose a technique for authoring and compositing hologram contents by using either the changes in the three-dimensional positions of objects in the hologram or by combining the objects with other contents by means of changes in the depth information. Further, more than one digital hologram was synthesized to form a hologram. The reconstructed result from the synthesized hologram also contained all the objects in each digital hologram before synthesis at the same positions and distances.

This study analyzed cases that applied hologram technology in the fashion industry in order to provide basic information for research on fashion marketing using hologram technology. The results of this study are as follows. A hologram was applied to fashion businesses in various ways including fashion shows, outdoor signboards, hologram windows or screens in stores, and launching shows or exhibitions. Most of these cases were foreign fashion brands, which utilized hologram technology actively for formulating a new brand image or for advertising products. Among Korean brands, however, there are not many cases of hologram application. Today, as-being the age of smart devices, the mobile advertisement market is growing rapidly among smart phone users. DKNY and Puma are providing information on styling through smart phone applications, and the Adidas stores in Germany also allow the customers to buy goods by entering a simple code through the smart phone. Recently, new devices are being introduced one by one, which display 2D digital contents in 3D holograms by combining mobile and hologram technologies. The marketing of fashion products is not just for supplying products but is required to satisfy the consumers' five senses. Therefore, the development of experiential contents based on the combination of mobile and hologram technologies will open new potential for profitable business models.

This paper presents a phase-only modulation scheme for a three-dimensional (3-D) image matching system to improve optical efficiency of the system. The 3-D image matching system is based on the two mask heterodyne scanning. A hologram of the 3-D reference object is first created and then the phase of the hologram is extracted. The phase of the hologram is represented as one mask with the other mask being a plane wave. The superposition of each beam modulated by the two masks generated a scanning beam pattern. This beam pattern scans the 3-D target object to be recognized. The output of the scanning system gives out the correlation of the phase-only hologram of the reference object and the complex hologram of the target object. Since a hologram contains 3-D information of an object as a form of fringe pattern, the correlation of holograms matches whole 3-D aspect of the objects. Computer simulations are performed with additive gaussian noise and without noise for the complex hologram modulation scheme and the phase-only hologram modulation scheme. The computer simulation results show that the phase-only hologram modulation scheme improves the optical efficiency. Thus the system with the phase-only hologram modulation scheme is more robust than the system with the complex hologram modulation scheme.

In this paper, we presented a simple hologram recording set for learners to broaden their program choices and experience holographic techniques with lifelong education programs. In order to obtain quality 3D images, the quality of light sources and recording mediums, which are the main elements of hologram recording, must be good. In addition, due to the characteristics of the hologram, the ambient vibrations shall be minimized for accurate interference pattern recording. The simple hologram recording set presented in this paper has not significantly restricted in space and location, and anyone can easily experience it at a reasonable price compared to the existing hologram production method. Also, it can make two different type of hologram (transmission and reflection) for providing easy access to recording and reconstruction of the hologram. Experiments have shown that holographic manufacturing practices are a very useful way to educate the public on optics and photonics technologies.

We proposed a three-dimensional holographic display technique without twin image noise by converting a complex hologram to an off-axis hologram. To implement the proposed technique we record the complex hologram of a three dimensional object that is composed of two slides located with different depth locations. We added spatial carrier to the complex hologram and after that, extract the real part of the spatial-carrier-added hologram. This converts the complex hologram to an off-axis hologram. We also reconstruct the off-axis hologram using a spatial light modulator for three dimensional display.
