Incoherent digital holographic adaptive optics.

An adaptive optical system based on incoherent digital holography is described. Theoretical and experimental studies show that wavefront sensing and compensation can be achieved by numerical processing of digital holograms of incoherent objects and a guide star, thereby dispensing with the hardware components of conventional adaptive optics systems, such as lenslet arrays and deformable mirrors...

Speckle-field digital holographic microscopy.

The use of coherent light in conventional holographic phase microscopy (HPM) poses three major drawbacks: poor spatial resolution, weak depth sectioning, and fixed pattern noise due to unwanted diffraction. Here, we report a technique which can overcome these drawbacks, but maintains the advantage of phase microscopy - high contrast live cell imaging and 3D imaging. A speckle beam of a complex ...

In-line digital holographic interferometry.

An optical system based on in-line digital holography for the evaluation of deformations is described. In-line holograms are recorded on a CCD chip. The problem of overlapping twin images typical for the in-line arrangement is solved by digital reconstruction and filtering of the unwanted wave fronts. Two separate interferograms of an object under test in its undeformed and deformed states are ...

Digital in-line holographic microscopy.

We first briefly review the state of the art of digital in-line holographic microscopy (DIHM) with numerical reconstruction and then discuss some technical issues, such as lateral and depth resolution, depth of field, twin image, four-dimensional tracking, and reconstruction algorithm. We then present a host of examples from microfluidics and biology of tracking the motion of spheres, algae, an...
