The fluence–resolution relationship in holographic and coherent diffractive imaging1

چکیده
This work presents a numerical study of the fluence-resolution behaviour for two coherent lensless X-ray imaging techniques. To this end the fluence-resolution relationship of inline near-field holography and far-field coherent diffractive imaging are compared in numerical experiments. To achieve this, the phase reconstruction is carried out using iterative phase-retrieval algorithms on simulated noisy data. Using the incident photon fluence on the specimen as the control parameter, the achievable resolution for two example phantoms (cell and bitmap) is studied. The results indicate the superior performance of holography compared with coherent diffractive imaging, for the same fluence and phase-reconstruction procedure.

Diffractive digital lensless holographic microscopy with fine spectral tuning.
We experimentally demonstrate an all-diffractive optical setup for digital lensless holographic microscopy with easy wavelength line selection and micrometric resolution. In the proposed system, an ultrashort laser pulse is focused with a diffractive lens (DL) onto a pinhole of diameter close to its central wavelength to achieve a highly spatially coherent illumination cone as well as a spectra...
متن کاملTomographic diffractive microscopy and multiview profilometry with flexible aberration correction.
We have developed a tomographic diffractive microscope in reflection, which permits observation of sample surfaces with an improved lateral resolution, compared to a conventional holographic microscope. From the same set of data, high-precision measurements can be performed on the shape of the reflective surface by reconstructing the phase of the diffracted field. Doing so allows for several ad...
متن کاملRotation-free holographic imaging with extended arc reference.
We proposed and experimentally demonstrated a rotation-free approach of holographic imaging by using an extended arc reference. From the diffraction intensity, the objects were retrieved using a two-step algorithm without a prior knowledge of the information of the sample and reference. This scheme alleviates the convergence problem of coherent diffractive imaging and also promises to achieve a...
متن کاملExperimental verification of coherent diffractive imaging by a direct phase retrieval method with an aperture-array filter.
Recently, we have proposed a coherent diffractive imaging using a noniterative phase retrieval method with the filter of an aperture array. The first (to our knowledge) experimental demonstration of this coherent imaging is presented here, in which a complex-valued object illuminated by a diode laser is reconstructed from the isolated diffraction intensities of the object's wave field, transmit...
متن کاملAn introduction to diffractive tomographic microscopy
We present the principles of diffractive tomographic microscopy. Contrary to classical transmission microscopy, this technique is based on a coherent, monochromatic, polarized illumination of the specimen, and records the diffracted light in both amplitude and phase using a holographic detection set-up. Combined with multiple illuminations of the specimen, a tomography is performed, and a numer...
