Noise filtering in the interference pattern by dynamic holographic recording in photorefractive Bi(12)TiO(20)
Abstract:
The possibilities of stabilization of the interference pattern by filtration of a random-phase noise caused by vibrations, turbulence, and other local changes in the wave front in interferometric measurements are investigated. Dynamic holographic recording in photorefractive Bi(12)TiO(20) crystals is used. The parameters of the holographic recording are presented for determination of the dynamic range for filtering. Noise filtering takes place in real time and contributes to the enhancement of the contrast and the signal-to-noise ratio of the interference pattern. This results in a considerable increase in the sensitivity and the accuracy of the interferometric measurements.

In-phase-contrast microscopes, interference between light directly passing through a cell and light refracted by cellular components is used to create high-contrast, high-resolution images without staining. It is the oldest and simplest type of microscope that creates an image by altering the wavelengths of light rays passing through the specimen. Altered wavelength paths are created using an annular stop in the condenser. The annular stop produces a hollow cone of...
