Improvement of reconstruction in 3D computer-generated holograms using 1D Fourier transform operations

Improvement of images reconstructed from 3D computer-generated holograms using 1D Fourier transform operations is presented. Required computing time for making 3D holograms is decreased when 1D Fourier transform method is used instead of 2D Fourier transform method, but reconstructed images from the holograms created by the 1D Fourier transform method are somewhat inferior in quality to the images by 2D Fourier transform method. In this paper, we propose a method that the disadvantageous properties of the holograms made by 1D Fourier transform are improved. We have performed two step improvements in this experiment. From the numerical experiments, the images that are reconstructed from the holograms created from 1D Fourier transform method show marked improvement.

Wave front reconstruction of Fresnel off-axis holograms with compensation of aberrations by means of phase-shifting digital holography

Off-axis holograms recorded with a CCD camera are numerically reconstructed in amplitude by calculating through the Fresnel–Kirchhoff integral. A phase-shifting Mach–Zehnder interferometer is used for recording four-quadrature phase-shifted off-axis holograms. The basic principle of this technique and its experimental verification are described. We show that the application of this algorithm allows for the suppression of the zero order of diffraction and of the twin image and that the contrast of the reconstructed images can be further enhanced by digital compensation of the aberrations introduced by the holographic recording system     

Reconstruction of holograms generated by using a combination of an iterative method and an error diffusion method

Two-level quantized phase holograms produced by using a combination of an iterative method and an error diffusion method are presented. By using a previously proposed iterative method, images reconstructed from two-level quantized phase holograms are rapidly improved with small amounts of iterative operations but further improvement of the image quality is difficult even if the iterations are greatly increased. Therefore, in order to exceed the improvement limitation of the image quality, the combination of the iterative method and an error diffusion method was used for the hologram-making process. Experimental results using the combination method showed better images than those obtained by the iterative method alone, when referred to results from synthesized holograms.     

A method of distortion compensation of multiplex holograms

A new method for making distortion-free multiplex holograms is proposed. The original images of them are processed by a computer to cancel the distortion of the final image. Examples of the reconstructed images are also presented.     

Characteristics of the reconstructed image upon multiplexing on-axis holograms

A comparative analysis of the experimental data on recording and multiplexing holograms, including speckle holograms, by an axial scheme is presented. The contrast and signal-to-noise ratio in the images reconstructed are compared. It is demonstrated that the thickness of the photosensitive material has an effect on the image quality during the recording of filamentary holograms.     

A new wavelet-based reconstruction algorithm for twin image removal in digital in-line holography

Two original methods are proposed here for digital in-line hologram processing. Firstly, we propose an entropy-based method to retrieve the focus plane which is very useful for digital hologram reconstruction. Secondly, we introduce a new approach to remove the so-called twin images reconstructed by holograms. This is achieved owing to the Blind Source Separation (BSS) technique. The proposed method is made up of two steps: an Adaptive Quincunx Lifting Scheme (AQLS) and a statistical unmixing algorithm. The AQLS tool is based on wavelet packet transform, whose role is to maximize the sparseness of the input holograms. The unmixing algorithm uses the Independent Component Analysis (ICA) tool. Experimental results confirm the ability of convolutive blind source separation to discard the unwanted twin image from in-line digital holograms.     

Improvement of signal-to-noise ratio in digital holography using wavelet transform

The basic problem in optical and digital holography is the presence of speckle noise in the reconstruction process, which reduces the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). The presence of speckle noise is serious drawback in optical and digital holography since it substantially reduces the SNR in the reconstructed image. In this paper, we present wavelet filtering to improve SNR in the reconstructed images from digital holograms. Experimental results are presented.     

Illumination-angle-scanning digital interference holography for optical section imaging

We propose and experimentally demonstrate a new (to our knowledge) digital holographic method to reconstruct section images of objects with wavelength-dependent reflectivity. A number of holograms of an object are taken as the illumination angle of the laser beam with a specific wavelength is changed in regular intervals. The complex object fields reconstructed from the holograms are numerically superposed to show the image of a sliced section of the object, whose position and thickness can be chosen arbitrarily. By changing the wavelength of the illumination beam, wavelength-dependent section images can be obtained with our method.     

Cavitation bubble dynamics studied by high speed photography and holography: part two

For a thorough study of bubble dynamics in cavitation bubble fields one has to resort to holography to circumvent the problems caused by bubbles moving out of focus during their three-dimensional motion. The development and application of high speed holography and holocinematography in cavitation physics is reviewed in this paper. The state of the art is that several thousand holograms with frame size a few square millimetres can be taken at rates up to 300 000 per second. Digital image processing, a valuable tool which is used to cope with the huge information content of series of holograms, is discussed. Results on bubble dynamics obtained via holography are presented, in particular on shock wave emission and bubble oscillation, splitting and interaction in a sound field. Global field dynamics and streamer stability are also discussed.     

Joint approach of the sub-holograms in on-axis lensless Fourier phase-shifting synthetic aperture digital holography

In on-axis lensless Fourier phase-shifting synthetic aperture digital holography, to compose all of the phase-shifting sub-holograms to a large synthetic aperture digital hologram effectively, firstly, the cross-correlation algorithm of the object waves is presented to correct the joint misplacement of the sub-holograms. Secondly, to make the phase-shifting synchronization matching of different sequence phase-shifting holograms, the cross-correlation algorithm of the phase-shifting holograms is employed. Compared with the traditional cross-correlation algorithm of the sub-holograms, the proposed approach makes the joint precision of the sub-holograms reach sub-pixel accuracy, and the resolution of the reconstructed image is improved significantly. In general, the proposed approach is effective in restraining the quality degradation of the synthetic reconstructed image that comes from the joint misplacement of the sub-holograms and the phase-shifting non-synchronization of the phase-shifting holograms.     

Holographic imaging with a nanometer resolution using compact table-top EUV laser

Holographic 2D/3D imaging with nanometer resolution using short wavelength extreme ultraviolet (EUV) light is presented in this paper. Gabor’s holograms were recorded with a highly coherent table top EUV laser with different numerical apertures demonstrating ultimately a spatial resolution of 46+/−2 nm, comparable with the illumination wavelength, in 2D holographic imaging. Three dimensional images were obtained from a single high numerical aperture hologram recorded in a high resolution photoresist and numerically reconstructed at different image planes, allowing numerical optical sectioning with a lateral resolution ∼170 nm and depth resolution of 2.4 μm. The holograms were recorded in a high resolution photoresist and digitized with an atomic force microscope. To assess the spatial resolution of the numerical reconstructions of the holograms a correlation method was used. The algorithm allows for simultaneous estimation of the resolution and the feature size of the image under analysis.     

Binary computer-generated holograms for security applications from a synthetic double-exposure method by electron-beam lithography

We have developed a new multiplexing method for producing binary computer-generated holograms (CGH's) for security applications. This method is based on double recording of two types of coding method upon binary CGH's. The CGH synthesized by the proposed method can have multiple image planes from the region close to the hologram (image region) to infinity (Fraunhofer region) without severe degradation of reconstructed images in the image region. A CGH containing simultaneous image- and Fourier-type holograms is fabricated by electron-beam lithography. Some experimental results are presented.     

Optical-path-length-shifting color digital holography

We propose an in-line color digital holography that can suppress a 0th-order diffraction image and a conjugate image. This technique reconstructs the image of an object from two holograms that are formed at two different distances from the object for each primary color. We numerically simulated the proposed technique and confirmed that it enabled the reconstruction of higher-quality images of an object than the Fresnel transform alone, which is the simplest reconstruction algorithm in digital holography. The effectiveness of the proposed technique was also quantitatively shown by evaluating the reconstructed images using root-mean-square errors. Thus, it was confirmed that the proposed technique was capable of recording and reconstructing both three-dimensional information and color information of an object.     

Application of holography to bubble chamber visualization

The first holograms of bubble tracks in a bubble chamber have been recorded. Three-dimensional images have been reconstructed with a resolution of few microns. The technique provides new improvements to the visualization of short-lived particles.     

Fraunhofer holography of small particles

The reconstruction of an in-line Fraunhofer (far-field) hologram is re-examined, and an analytical solution of the intensity distribution throughout the entire reconstructed image is presented. The solution bridges the gap between previously documented solutions which are limited to the plane-of-focus image and distant out-of-focus images. The analysis is motivated by a particle velocity measurement technique which attempts to distinguish the focussed image by photographic thresholding. The general methodology is presented for objects of one- and two-dimensional cross-section. Specific results are presented for the single exposure holograms of a long wire and a small particle of circular cross-section. The one-dimensional solution is verified experimentally. The results show precisely how the Fresnel diffraction term creates peaks in the intensity distribution, both upstream and downstream of the focussed image. This characteristic limits the resolution of methods which use thresholding as a means of distinguishing focussed images from their out-of-focus neighbors.
