title: Utilization of a liquid crystal spatial light modulator in a gray scale detour phase method for Fourier holograms.
abstract: This paper introduces a new modification for the well-known binary detour phase method, which is largely used to represent Fourier holograms; the modification utilizes gray scale level control provided by a liquid crystal spatial light modulator to improve the traditional binary detour phase. Results are shown by both simulation and experiment.
