Half-tone photography and computer-generated holography are good examples of binary encoding schemes for synthesizing pictures. The aim of this paper is to present two encoding techniques for synthesizing 1-D complex amplitude distributions, by the use of 2-D binary patterns and an optical processor. To this aim, in section 2, we discuss the basic theory. Then, in section 3, we developed the two binary enconding techniques, which are similar to the computer-generated holograms, of type I and II, presented by Brown and Lohmannl.
