Abstract

This paper proposes a new equation to calculate computer-generated hologram (CGH) in a high speed and its cell-based VLSI (veri large scale integrated circuit) architecture. After finding the calculational regularity in the horizontal or vertical direction from the basic CGH equation, we induce the new equation to calculate the horizontal or vertical hologram pixel values in parallel. We also propose the architecture of the CGH cell consisting of a initial parameter calculator and update-phase calculator(s) on the basis of the equation and implement them in hardware. Also we show a hardware architecture to parallelize the calculation in the horizontal direction by extending CGH. In the experiments we analyze the used hardware resources. These analyses makes it possible to select the amount of hardware to the precision of the results. Here, for the CGH kernel and the structure of the processor, we used the platform from our previous works.

본 논문에서는 고속으로 홀로그램을 생성하기 위해 새로운 컴퓨터 생성 홀로그램(computer-generated hologram, CGH) 수식을 제안하고, 셀 기반의 VLSI(very large scale integrated circuit) 구조를 제안하였다. 기본 CGH 수식에서 가로 또는 세로 방향의 연산 규칙을 찾아낸 후 가로 또는 세로 방향의 홀로그램 화소를 병렬적으로 구할 수 있는 수식을 유도하였다. 제안한 수식을 바탕으로 초기 파라미터 연산기(initial parameter calculator)와 업데이트-위상 연산기(update-phase calculator)로 구성된 CGH 셀의 구조를 제안하고 하드웨어로 구현하였다. 수식의 변형을 통해서 하드웨어를 간략화 시킬 수 있었고, CGH의 확장을 통해 가로 방향으로 병렬화시킬 수 있는 하드웨어 구조도 보였다. 실험에서는 하드웨어에 사용된 자원을 분석하였다. CGH 커널과 프로세서의 구조는 이전 연구에서 사용된 플랫폼을 그대로 사용하였다.
