Review of Three-Dimensional Holographic Imaging by Fresnel Incoherent Correlation Holograms

چکیده
Holographic imaging offers a reliable and fast method to capture the complete 3-D information of the scene from a single perspective. We review our recently proposed single-channel optical system for generating digital Fresnel holograms of 3-D real-existing objects illuminated by incoherent light. In this motionless holographic technique, light is reflected, or emitted, from a 3-D object, propagates through a spatial light modulator (SLM), and is recorded by a digital camera. The SLM is used as a beam-splitter of the single-channel incoherent interferometer, such that each spherical beam originated from each object point is split into two spherical beams with two different curve radiuses. Incoherent sum of the entire interferences between all the couples of spherical beams creates the Fresnel hologram of the observed 3-D object. When this hologram is reconstructed in the computer, the 3D properties of the object are revealed.

Incoherent Digital Holographic Microscopy with Coherent and Incoherent Light
Holography is an attractive imaging technique as it offers the ability to view a complete three-dimensional volume from one image. However, holography is not widely applied to the regime of fluorescence microscopy, because fluorescent light is incoherent and creating holograms requires a coherent interferometer system. We review two methods of generating digital Fresnel holograms of threedimens...

Fluorescence holographic microscope (FINCHSCOPE) is a motionless fluorescence holographic imaging technique based on Fresnel incoherent correlation holography (FINCH) that shows promise in reconstructing three-dimensional fluorescence images of biological specimens with three holograms. We report a developing two-step phase-shifting method that reduces the required number of holograms from thre...
متن کاملSynthetic Aperture Digital Holography
Synthetic aperture is a well-known super-resolution technique which extends the resolution capabilities of an imaging system beyond the theoretical Rayleigh limit dictated by the system's actual aperture. Using this technique, several patterns acquired by an aperture-limited system, from various locations, are tiled together to one large pattern which could be captured only by a virtual system ...
متن کاملFresnel incoherent correlation holography (FINCH): a review of research
In this review, we describe our method for creating holograms of incoherent objects, dubbed Fresnel incoherent correlation holography (FINCH). FINCH creates holograms by a single-channel on-axis incoherent interferometer process. Like any Fresnel hologram, the object is correlated with quadratic phase functions, but the correlation is carried out without any movement. Generally, in the FINCH sy...
متن کاملReview of three-dimensional holographic imaging by multiple-viewpoint-projection based methods.
Methods of generating multiple viewpoint projection holograms of three-dimensional (3-D) realistic objects illuminated by incoherent white light are reviewed in this paper. Using these methods, it is possible to obtain holograms with a simple digital camera, operating in regular light conditions. Thus, most disadvantages characterizing conventional digital holography, namely the need for a powe...
