Abstract
Computational holography, encompassing computer-generated holograms and digital holography, utilizes diffraction calculations based on complex-valued operations and complex Fourier transforms. However, for some holographic applications, only real-valued holograms or real-valued diffracted results are required. This study proposes a real-valued diffraction calculation that does not require any complex-valued operation. Instead of complex-valued Fourier transforms, we employ a pure real-valued transform. Among the several real-valued transformations that have been proposed, we employ the Hartley transformation. However, our proposed method is not limited to this transformation, as other real-valued transformations can be utilized.
