This study introduces a simplified lensless coherent optical microscope using two-reference-wave phase-shifting digital holography (PSDH). This advanced technique reduces system complexity and hologram recording for clearer imaging of transmission objects.

Area of Science:

  • Optical microscopy
  • Holography
  • Image processing

Background:

  • Conventional microscopy often requires complex optics.
  • Digital holography offers lensless imaging capabilities.
  • Phase-shifting digital holography (PSDH) enhances image quality.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a simplified lensless coherent optical microscope.
  • To implement a novel two-reference-wave PSDH method.
  • To compare imaging performance against conventional methods.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a lensless, coherent optical microscope setup.
  • Implemented a two-reference-wave phase-shifting digital holography (PSDH) technique.
  • Employed a field backpropagation algorithm for image reconstruction.
