Abstract
The twin image problem, well known in Gabor holography, greatly obstructs the output of high-quality holograms. Previous solutions include numerical and instrumental means to eliminate or mitigate the issue. The proposed method demonstrates the feasibility of using the sagitta angle in a spherical reference beam as an intrinsic reference angle within in-line holography. Along with a miniaturized version of the object, to allow for a wide range of object sizes, from millimeters to meters, with a small variation within the original optical system. The inherent reference angle allows for a separation of the twin images in the reconstruction of a Gabor hologram, while maintaining the system on axis. Under lens-less Fourier criteria, the peripheral information of the visual field interferes with a spherical wave to generate an interference pattern that results in a hologram with separated images.
