RT Journal Article T1 Characterization of holographically generated beams via phase retrieval based on Wigner distribution projections A1 Martínez Matos, Óscar A1 Rodrigo Martín-Romo, José Augusto A1 Alieva Krasheninnikova, Tatiana A1 Cámara, Alejandro A1 Cheben, Pavel A1 Calvo Padilla, María Luisa AB In this work, we propose a robust and versatile approach for the characterization of the complex field amplitude of holographically generated coherent-scalar paraxial beams. For this purpose we apply an iterative algorithm that allows recovering the phase of the generated beam from the measurement of its Wigner distribution projections. Its performance is analyzed for beams of different symmetry: Laguerre-Gaussian, Hermite-Gaussian and spiral ones, which are obtained experimentally by a computer generated hologram (CGH) implemented on a programmable spatial light modulator (SLM). Using the same method we also study the quality of their holographic recording on a highly efficient photopolymerizable glass. The proposed approach is useful for the creation of adaptive CGH that takes into account the peculiarities of the SLM, as well as for the quality control of the holographic data storage.
