+## Abstract
+Computer-Generated Holography (CGH) is a set of algorithmic methods for identifying holograms that reconstruct Three-Dimensional
+scenes in holographic displays. CGH algorithms decompose 3D scenes into multiplanes at different depth levels and rely on simulations
+of light that propagated from a source plane to a targeted plane. Thus, for $n$ planes, CGH typically optimizes holograms using $n$ plane-to-plane
+light transport simulations, leading to major time and computational demands. Our work replaces multiple planes with a focal surface and introduces
+a learned light transport model that could propagate a light field from a source plane to the focal surface in a single inference. Our model leverages
+spatially adaptive convolution to achieve depth-varying propagation demanded by targeted focal surfaces. The proposed model reduces the hologram
+optimization process up to $1.5x$, which contributes to hologram dataset generation and the training of future learned CGH models.
+
+
+## Focal Surface Holographic Light Transport
+Simulating light propagation among multiple planes in a 3D volume is computationally
+demanding, as a 3D volume is represented with multiple planes and each plane requires
+a separate calculation of light propagation to reconstruct the target image. Thus,
+for $n$ planes, conventional light transport simulation methods require $n$ plane-to-plane
+simulations, leading to major time and computational demands. Our work replaces multiple
+planes with a focal surface and introduces a learned light transport model that could
+propagate a light field from a source plane to the focal surface in a single inference,
+reducing simulation time by $10x$.

+
+## Results
+When simulating a full-color, all-in-focus 3D image across a focal surface, conventional
+Angular Spectrum Method (ASM) requires eighteen forward
+passes to simulate the 3D image with six depth planes.
+In contrast, our model simulates the three colorprimary images simultaneously
+onto a focal surface with a single forward pass.
+In the mean time, our model preserves more high-frequency content than U-Net, providing
+finer details and sharper edges, closer to the ground truth.

+
+
+ We utilize our model for a 3D phase-only hologram optimization application under
+ $0 mm$ propagation distance. Optimizing holograms with six target planes using ASM
+ is denoted as ASM 6, while Ours 6 represents optimizing holograms using our model with six
+ focal surfaces. When comparing the simulation results, all holograms are reconstructed using ASM for performance assessment.
+Ours 6 achieves comparable results with about $70\%$ of the optimization time compared to ASM 6.
