Abstract

We show how the common Fresnel reconstruction of digital holograms can be speeded up on ordinary computers by precomputing the two chirp factors for a given detector array size and then calling these values from memory during the reconstruction. The speedup in time is shown for various hologram sizes. We also run the same algorithm on a Nvidia GPU using Matlab.
