Precise Test Sieves Calibration Method Based on Off-axis Digital Holography

Six-pack off-axis holography.

We present a new holographic concept, named six-pack holography (6PH), in which we compress six off-axis holograms into a single multiplexed off-axis hologram without loss of magnification or resolution. The multiplexed hologram contains straight off-axis fringes with six different orientations, and can be generated optically or digitally. We show that since the six different complex wavefronts...

Iterative method for zero-order suppression in off-axis digital holography.

We propose a method to suppress the so-called zero-order term in a hologram, based on an iterative principle. During the hologram acquisition process, the encoded information includes the intensities of the two beams creating the interference pattern, which do not contain information about the recorded complex wavefront, and that can disrupt the reconstructed signal. The proposed method selecti...

On the single point resolution of on-axis digital holography.

On-axis digital holography (DH) is becoming widely used for its time-resolved three-dimensional (3D) imaging capabilities. A 3D volume can be reconstructed from a single hologram. DH is applied as a metrological tool in experimental mechanics, biology, and fluid dynamics, and therefore the estimation and the improvement of the resolution are current challenges. However, the resolution depends o...

Real Time Temperature Distribution Measurement of a Microheater by Using Off-Axis Digital Holography

Real-time quantitative phase reconstruction in off-axis digital holography using multiplexing.

We present a new approach for obtaining significant speedup in the digital processing of extracting unwrapped phase profiles from off-axis digital holograms. The new technique digitally multiplexes two orthogonal off-axis holograms, where the digital reconstruction, including spatial filtering and two-dimensional phase unwrapping on a decreased number of pixels, can be performed on both hologra...
