Learn computer generated display holography with CGDH Tools
Here you will find some educational material that might help you to start with computer generated display holography. Details on our real work can be found on the main page. Feel free to ask me any holography-related questions!
Computer generated display holography: A Tutorial
If you are very new to holography, consider reading the course notes to the tutorial Computer generated display holography presented at the conference Eurographics 2017, 24 April, Lyon, France.

- Original slides + course notes
- Original slides only
- Errata (typos already fixed in the slides and notes above)
- Sample scripts.
Please note that these scripts are very, very basic ones. Check "CGDH Tools" below for more practical educational scripts. By the way, CGDH Tools includes these sample scripts as well.

Computer generated display holography (CGDH) tools is a set of Octave/MATLAB/Scilab functions and demos. They show basic procedures in CGDH and computational Fourier optics.
The code is mainly educational. Those who want to understand computer generated display holography are encouraged to read the code of the demos and the CGDH core functions. The code tries to be as simple and readable as possible. Thus, it does not contain optimizations that would obfuscate principles; the only exception is that the code tries to use matrix operations whenever possible as Octave/MATLAB/Scilab is optimized for matrices. Anyone who needs high performance should adjust or rewrite the scripts according to particular needs.
