Abstract

The determination of numerical reconstruction distance is key to recover the wavefront at focal plane in digital holography. In this paper, we propose a new autofocus method based on angular spectrum method (ASM). The proposed method takes successive Fourier transform after 1<sup>st</sup> order spectrum selection, and then calculates the summation. It saves operations compared to classic autofocus functions. When an exhaustive z-axis search is performed, the proposed method obtains unimodality coincided with the results from four classic autofocus functions. Moreover, the proposed method is more time-effective, which is the optimal one for ASM.
