Abstract

We have developed a combined binary-phase hologram (CBPH) consisting of two binary-phase holograms. The CBPH can be used effectively for optical interconnection and image processing because it suppresses the unwanted images of a conventional binary-phase hologram. The theory and properties of the CBPH and experimental results are presented.
