From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Digital holography is the technology of acquiring and processing holographic measurement data, typically via a CCD camera or a similar device. In particular, this includes the numerical reconstruction of object data from the recorded measurement data, in distinction to an optical reconstruction which reproduces an aspect of the object. Digital holography typically delivers three-dimensional surface or optical thickness data. There are different techniques available in practice, depending on the intended purpose. [1]

Digital analysis of holograms[edit]

Phase-shifting holograms[edit]

The phase-shifting digital holography process entails capturing multiple interferograms that each indicate the optical phase relationships between light returned from all sampled points on the illuminated surface and a controlled reference beam of light that is collinear to the object beam (in-line geometry). From a set of these interferograms, holograms are computed that contain information defining the shape of the surface. Multiple holograms gathered at multiple laser light wavelengths are then combined to compile the full shape of the illuminated object over its full dimensional extent.

Off-axis configuration[edit]

At the off-axis configuration where a small angle between the reference and the object beams is used. In this configuration, a single recorded digital hologram is sufficient to reconstruct the information defining the shape of the surface, allowing real-time imaging.

Multiplexing of holograms[edit]

Digital holograms can be numerically multiplexed and demultiplexed for efficient storage and transmission. Amplitude and phase can be correctly recovered.[2] The numerical access to the optical wave characteristics (amplitude, phase, polarization) made digital holography a very powerful method. Numerical optics can be applied to increase the depth of focus (numerical focalization) and compensate for aberration.[3]

Wavelength multiplexing of holograms is also possible in digital holography as in classical holography. It is possible to record on the same digital hologram interferograms obtained for different wavelengths.[4] ) or different polarizations [5]

Super-resolution in Digital Holography[edit]

Superresolution is possible by means of a dynamic phase diffraction grating for increasing synthetically the aperture of the CCD array[6]

Optical Sectioning in Digital Holography[edit]

Optical sectioning, also known as sectional image reconstruction, is the process of recovering a planar image at a particular axial depth from a three-dimensional digital hologram. Various mathematical techniques have been used to solve this problem, with inverse imaging among the most versatile. [7] [8]

Extending Depth-of-Focus by Digital Holography in Microscopy[edit]

By using the 3D imaging capability of Digital Holography in Amplitude an Phase it is possible to extend the depth of focus in Microscopy. [9]

Combining of holograms and interferometric microscopy[edit]

The digital analysis of a set of holograms recorded from different directions or with different direction of the reference wave allows the numerical emulation of an objective with large numerical aperture, leading to corresponding enhancement of the resolution.[10][11][12] This technique is called interferometric microscopy.
