Reconstructed images (See the reference for details)
We present a method to solve a distance issue. In digital holography, the reconstruction distance is different from the original one because of the difference of the pixel size between an imaging device and a display device. In general, the distance is larger because the pixel size of the display is larger than that of the imaging device. This makes it hard to recognize perception of the stereoscopic effect when holographic reconstructed images are used for the stereopsis system. Typically, a numerical propagation method and a spherical phase addition are used to shorten the distance. However, each method is not shortened enough. To clear the criterion, the limitation of each method is verified. By combining two methods, the reconstruction distance is shortened from 4440 to 547 mm. In addition, it is successfully shown that the proposed combining method is useful for the stereopsis by visual perception evaluation.
