title: Pixelated phase computer holograms for the accurate encoding of scalar complex fields.
abstract: We discuss a class of phase computer-generated holograms for the encoding of arbitrary scalar complex fields. We describe two holograms of this class that allow high quality reconstruction of the encoded field, even if they are implemented with a low-resolution pixelated phase modulator. In addition, we show that one of these holograms can be appropriately implemented with a phase modulator limited by a reduced phase depth.
