Patent ID: 7800035

Claim:
An optical wavefront control pattern generating apparatus which generates an optimum optical wavefront control pattern which is to be stored in an optical wavefront controller unit, in an image reconstruction system displaying a reconstructed image on a reconstructed image display unit, by irradiating the optical wavefront controller unit, in which an optical wavefront control pattern is recorded, with illuminating light, the apparatus comprising: a reconstructed image detector unit configured to detect a reconstructed image displayed on the reconstructed image display unit; and an optimizer unit configured to evaluate the reconstructed image detected by the reconstructed image detector unit, and to generate the optimum optical wavefront control pattern by applying a modification process to the optical wavefront control pattern in order for a result of the evaluation to satisfy a predetermined condition, the optimizer unit being configured to generate the optimum optical wavefront control pattern by repeating an application of a modification process to the optical wavefront control pattern, a computation of an evaluation value of a reconstructed image corresponding to the optical wavefront control pattern to which the modification process has been applied, and a determination, on the basis of the evaluation value, of whether or not the optical wavefront control pattern, to which the modification process has been applied, is to be adopted on the basis of difference information and of an adoption probability determined by a repetitive parameter value.
