Abstract

Theoretical simulation shows that it is possible to optimize computer-generated holograms performing simple interconnect functions for limited coherence illumination. Further simulation indicates that a development of a silicon backplane spatial light modulator (SLM) can be used as the hologram recording device. A model of a programmable beamsplitter network is successfully modelled, and results are presented.
