Phase modulation noise in a reconstructed image of a fourier-transform plane phase hologram

Phase modulation noise in a Fourier-transform plane phase hologram is investigated in terms of combination tones between signal components. Negative correlation between diffraction efficiency and signal-to-noise ratio is derived.     

Effect of transverse object position on the reconstructed image of an aperture-limited in-line hologram

It is experimentally demonstrated that the image resolution from an in-line Fraunhofer hologram degrades appreciably when the centre of the diffraction pattern from a 5-bar resolution target is located asymmetrically in the hologram aperture. This effect is confirmed and analysed using calculated and experimentally measured images from holograms of a one-dimensional wire. Increasing asymmetry results in an increasing error in the measured linewidth, and a reduction of image resolution. A simple model based on average fringe contrast is used to predict this decrease in resolution with transverse object position.     

A different method for calculation of the deflection angle of light passing close to a massive object by Fermat’s principle

We introduce a method for calculating the amount of deflection angle of light passing close to a massive object. It is based on Fermat’s principle. The varying refractive index of medium around the massive object is obtained from the Buckingham pi-theorem.     

An approximate method for determining the static deflection and natural frequency of a cracked beam

This paper provides an approximate method to determine the stiffness and the fundamental frequency of a cracked beam. The cracked beam is first represented as an un-cracked beam with equivalent reduced sections around the cracks. The effect of the cracks is explained, visualised and quantified using the equivalence concept developed for stepped beams with periodically variable cross-sections. Then an alternative expression of the improved Rayleigh method is provided to calculate the natural frequencies of a beam with a variable stiffness distribution along its length. As the method is insensitive to the assumed mode shapes, it avoids the difficulty in choosing appropriate mode shapes and yields accurate results. This is shown using several examples to compare the results determined using the proposed method and the Finite Element method (FEM). The method greatly simplifies the calculation of cracked beams with complicated configurations, such as a beam with several cracks, a cracked beam with concentrated masses, a beam with cracks close to each other, and a beam with periodically distributed cracks.

Identifying a dot-matrix hologram by checking the intersecting angles of its gratings

Three features about the intersecting state of two gratings are used to identify dot-matrix holograms created by two-beam writers in this paper. The first feature is the intersection angle of the fringes of two gratings. The second feature is the ratio of the pitches of two lowest-order moiré-patterns formed by overlapping two gratings. The third feature is the length ratio of the two diagonal lines of a parallelogram constructed by two neighboring fringes of a first grating and two neighboring fringes of a second grating. All the three features are equivalent, i.e. they are all relative to the intersection angle of two gratings. Because the grating orientations of grating dots cannot be accurately reproduced for the orientation uncertainties of the components used by a two-beam writer, the intersection angles of the gratings of grating dots cannot be easily counterfeited. Therefore, the proposed methods are practical and feasible for the anti-counterfeiting applications of dot-matrix holograms.

The validity of weak-coupling approach for a transmission phase hologram

Weak-coupling methods are convenient tools to analyze the diffraction properties of volume holograms for low diffraction cases, such as holographic data storage. Although the range of “low diffraction” is very important in practice, it is never defined because the parameter of modulation depth is excluded in the weak-coupling methods. In the paper we propose a simple method to estimate the validity of weak-coupling methods. Based on the weak-coupling solution from the coupled wave theory, we can quantitatively calculate the selectivity error of weak-coupling methods. The acceptable range of diffraction efficiency for weak-coupling methods can be determined accordingly.     

Double transmission-mediums based geometric phase analysis for determining the two surface profiles of transparent object

The accurate measurement for the surface profiles of transparent object is of significance for quality control in optical devices and precision instruments. Here, a double transmission-mediums based geometric phase analysis method has been developed to evaluate both the upper and lower surface profiles of transparent object. To do this, the tested transparent object is placed above a preprinted lattice pattern. When viewed from above with a CCD camera, any slope variations of the surfaces will lead to distortions of the transmission-lattice patterns. And when changing one side of object’s contact medium, the lattice virtual image with modulated phase is distorted once again. Combined with the derived relationship between phase variations of transmission-lattice patterns and out-of-plane heights of two surfaces, the double-sided surface profiles of transparent object can be reconstructed successfully. With this, the technique, which is verified experimentally, is demonstrated to be a feasible and reliable method. The advantage of this method is that it simplifies the setup and allows a fast estimation of the geometry of a transparent specimen. The double-sided profiles can be decoupled easily according to the big difference of refractive indexes between contact mediums. And the calculation accuracy can be guaranteed by the weighted average from four directions.     

Fresnel diffraction method with object wave rotation for numerical reconstruction of digital hologram on tilted plane

We present a new method for numerically reconstructing holography image on tilted planes within the Fresnel domain. The method is based on the Fresnel diffraction algorithm and object wave rotation transform. By suitable rotation the object wave on recording plane and once fast Fourier transformation this method can be implemented. The proposed method can render the real image of the hologram not only on parallel plane but also on the tilted. Experimental results are presented to demonstrate the method for a single axis rotation.     

Improved phase hologram design for generating symmetric light spots and its application for laser writing of waveguides

The improved method for calculation of a phase hologram and its application to laser writing of waveguides with a spatial light modulator are presented. It was found that the amplitude and phase distributions of light spots generated by a phase hologram can be distorted compared to those of a focused single beam. The distortion of light spots could be reduced by adding a simple constraint, in which light intensities around a light spot should be as small as possible, to the conventional calculation method of a phase hologram. It was also demonstrated that the improved calculation method can be considered essential for laser writing of waveguides.     

The reconstruction of diffractive object digital hologram at a short distance

By using a spherical wave as the reference wave, we recorded the in-line phase-shifting digital hologram of the 25th element of Chinese standard No. 3 resolution test pattern, and gave the corresponding numerical reconstructed results. Some problems concerning with the digital hologram recording and reconstruction of the diffractive object at a short distance are discussed. The experimental result shows that the resolution of the reconstructed image is better than 10μm, which is the limit by using this experimental arrangement.
