Analysis in wavefront propagation based on ray tracing for acquisition of aberration-corrected hologram

Holographic display is widely known for aberration correction capability. In this paper, we analyze the image quality degradation when aberration is present in the holographic display system. Though built with lenses with minimal aberrations, it is inevitable from undesirable error when perceived with an usual eye. Thus, we mainly analyze holographic image quality in two cases: when eye gets defocused and rotated. In simulation, accommodation-dependent schematic eye model is utilized for precise acquisition of aberration-corrected hologram. The hologram acquired with ray tracing is assessed with the bench-top prototype of holographic near-eye display.
