Abstract

For the optimization of non-Fourier-type computer-generated phase holograms (kinoform lenses), a method based on the Monte Carlo procedure is suggested. This method can be regarded as analogous to the iterative Fourier transform algorithm method that is widely used for the optimization of Fourier-type computer-generated phase holograms (kinoforms).
