Abstract
In this paper, the phase-only holograms with clear first diffraction orders have been generated based on the U-Net and the two-dimensional phase grating. Firstly, we proved the modulation effect of two-dimensional phase grating on diffraction field, and came to a conclusion that it could move the diffraction pattern of the hologram to the odd-numbered diffraction orders' center of that. Then we changed the generation process of phase-only holograms and the training strategy for U-Net according to this conclusion, which converted the optimization target of the U-Net from the zeroth diffraction order in the center of diffraction field to the first diffraction order in the edge of that. And we also used a method called "phase recombination" to improve the structure of U-Net for less memory footprint and faster generating speed. Finally, the holograms with the 4K resolution have been generated in 0.05s, and the average peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR) of the reconstructed images is about 37.2 dB in DIV2K-valid-HR dataset.
