Abstract: | Differentiation between a diffused hologram and a specular hologram is determined by criteria of the wavelength and the relief of the object. In a hologram where the object beam is diffused (due to diffused object illumination, or because the object surface is reflecting diffusively), every part in the holographic plane contains information about the whole object, but from a different angle of view. In a specular hologram, the recording is somewhere between the image recording and the diffused holography. The latter part is contributed mainly by the edges of the object.This paper describes properties of sampled diffused holograms in terms of resolution,S/N (contrast), angle of view, power spectrum and the ability of determination of the object.Different sampling functions are compared and experimentally examined, while the total diffracting areas are preserved constant.It was found that when the sampling areas were distributed over the entire plane and the observation distance was preserved, the resolution, the angle of view and the ability of determination of the object was close to the unsampled hologram. At the same conditions theS/N and the power spectrum were reduced.It seems that these techniques of sampling may be applied for multiplexing, subtracting and correlating between two adjacent recordings. |
