Multiplexed Frequency-Selective Incoherent Holography

Abstract

We propose a new incoherent optical holographic spectrum stripping reconstruction method, called incoherent multiplexing frequency-selective holography, which compresses two or more on-axis holograms into a single multiplexed on-axis hologram without loss of magnification and resolution. The technique described in this chapter effectively suppresses the background bias term and conjugate term. The acquired spectrum is obtained by stripping in the overlapping confounding correlation terms. The experimental results show the potential of the method in areas such as compressed holography and extended field of view imaging.
