Abstract

Sharpness metric maximization is a method for reconstructing coherent images that have been aberrated due to distributed-volume turbulence. This method places one or more corrective phase screens in the digital-propagation path that serve to increase overall sharpness of the image. As such, this study uses sharpness metric maximization on 3D irradiances obtained via frequency-diverse digital holography. We vary the number of corrective phase screens in the propagation path and sharpen images of a realistic, extended object via multi-plane sharpness metric maximization. The results indicate that image reconstruction is possible when using fewer corrective screens than aberrating screens, but that image quality increases with a greater number of corrective screens.
