Abstract The retrieval of the phase with single-photon states is a fundamentally and technically challenging endeavor. Here we report an experimental realization of hologram recordings with heralded single-photon illumination and continuous observation of photon statistics. Thereby, we demonstrate the basic principle of holography with single-photon states which cannot be described with the classical wave theory.

Abstract Directed by successfully manufacturing the computer-generated hologram (CGH) using the computer-to-film (CtF) process, we present, to the best of our knowledge, a new method for low-cost and fast hologram manufacturing. This new method allows for advances in the CtF process and manufacturing using new techniques in hologram production. These techniques include computer-to-plate, offset printing, and surface engraving utilizing the same CGH calculations and prepress.
