Background:

Off-axis digital holography commonly employs 2D-FFT spatial filtering for complex wave extraction.
This method can be computationally intensive and sensitive to variations in spatial carrier frequency.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a novel, faster method for complex object wave extraction in off-axis digital holography.
To enhance the robustness of holographic filtering against spatial carrier frequency changes.
To maintain or improve the quality of reconstructed phase images compared to existing methods.

Main Methods:

A novel single exposure complex object wave extraction method is proposed.
This direct filtering scheme is compared against the traditional 2D-FFT based spatial filtering approach.
Performance is evaluated based on extraction speed, reconstructed phase image quality, and robustness to carrier frequency variations.

Main Results:

The proposed method offers a faster solution for complex object wave extraction compared to FFT-based methods.
The direct filtering scheme demonstrates superior robustness to off-axis spatial carrier frequency variations.
Reconstructed phase image quality is maintained with the novel approach.

Conclusions:

The novel direct filtering method provides a more efficient and robust alternative for complex object wave extraction in off-axis digital holography.
This technique addresses limitations of FFT-based filtering, particularly concerning speed and frequency stability.
The findings contribute to advancements in digital holographic imaging and analysis.
