Incoherent digital holography with two polarization-sensitive phase-only spatial light modulators and reduced number
Abstract:
I propose methods for reducing the number of exposures in incoherent digital holography with two polarization-sensitive phase-only spatial light modulators (IDH with TPP-SLMs). In IDH with TPP-SLMs, no polarization filters are required, and not only three-dimensional (3D), but polarization information is also obtained. However, seven exposures are required to conduct filter-free polarimetric incoherent holography. In this article, the optical designs and modified phase-shifting interferometry to reduce the number of recordings are described. IDH with TPP-SLMs has the potential for filter-free single-shot multidimensional incoherent holographic imaging.

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...
