Abstract

This paper presents a novel method for using programmable graphics hardware to generate fringe patterns for SLM-based holographic displays. The algorithm is designed to take the programming constraints imposed by the graphics hardware pipeline model into consideration, and scales linearly with the number of object points. In contrast to previous methods we do not have to use the Fresnel approximation. The technique can also be used on several graphics processors in parallel for further optimization. We achieve real-time frame rates for objects consisting of a few hundred points at a resolution of 960 × 600 pixels and over 10 frames per second for 1000 points.

Three different algorithmic layouts for computing the distribution from N object points on a GPU. The fragment shader is called once for every pixel. (a) Process all points in one pass. Loop in shader. (b) Process one point per pass. Multi-pass. (c) Process N = PS points. P passes and S summations in shader.

Rendering times 100 to 10000 points for two SLM resolutions using single and dual GPUs. The rendering time scale almost perfectly linear for 100 to 10000 points. Using the SLI setup doubles the performance, with the exception of the 100 point case where the GPU does the computation in just one pass and no efficiency is gained by parallelization.
