A method based on the Monte Carlo procedure is suggested to simulate the reconstruction of non-Fourier-type computer-generated holograms (CGHs). The cases of amplitude holograms (CGAHs) and phase holograms (CGPHs), or "kinoform lenses," are investigated. A method to model the finite pixel size of the hologram is suggested. An importance sampling method is proposed to simulate the reconstruction of CGAHs. # 1997 Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers. 80091-3286(97)01304-4 Subject terms: computer-generated holography; kinoform lenses; Monte Carlo simulation.
