Fourier-transform spectral imaging: retrieval of source information from three-dimensional spatial coherence
نویسندگان
چکیده
A method is described for efficiently obtaining the comprehensive information of a polychromatic radiator. Under certain conditions both the spatial and spectral details of the radiative object can be recovered simultaneously from the three-dimensional spatial coherence function in the diffraction region. The recovery of object information is based on a Fourier-transform relationship derived from the basic formula [E. Wolf and W. H. Carter, J. Opt. Soc. Am. 68, 953-964 (1978)] describing the field correlation function in terms of the source correlation function. A new type of interferometer is proposed for the efficient collection of the spatial coherence data. Experimental results of the spectral-image recovery are also presented.

General theorem of spatial coherence: application to three-dimensional imaging
The Michelson stellar interferometer1 (MSI) (also known as long-baseline interferometer) is used for measuring the shape of planar objects that emit quasi-monochromatic, spatially incoherent light. Its principle of operation is based on recording interference patterns in the far field obtained by a two-pinhole Young interference configuration. The fringes’ visibility and phase versus the separa...
متن کاملDigital holographic three-dimensional imaging spectrometry and depth imaging properties
We have studied a method to obtain both three-dimensional (3-D) spatial information and spectral information of a usual polychromatic object simultaneously by making use of a specifically designed two-wavefront folding interferometer and signal processing, including synthetic aperture technique, spectral decomposition, and 3-D image retrieval. The method uses only interferometric techniques and...
متن کاملThree-dimensional imaging of random radiation sources.
A method to image random three-dimensional source distributions is proposed. We show that, by using a Michelson stellar interferometer in a prescribed fashion, one is able to measure a special form of a threedimensional degree of coherence. The inverse Fourier transform of this coherence function yields the threedimensional intensity distribution of the source as seen from the paraxial far zone.

Buried channels are one of the stratigraphic hydrocarbon traps. They are often filled with a variety of porous and permeable sediments so they are important in the exploration of oil and gas reservoirs. In reflection seismic data, high-frequency components are sensitive to the channel thickness, whereas, low-frequency components are sensitive to the channel infill materials. Therefore, decompos...

Fourier ptychographic microscopy (FPM) is a novel computational coherent imaging technique for high space-bandwidth product imaging. Mathematically, Fourier ptychographic (FP) reconstruction can be implemented as a phase retrieval optimization process, in which we only obtain low resolution intensity images corresponding to the sub-bands of the sample's high resolution (HR) spatial spectrum, an...
