Quantitative Space-bandwidth product comparison of different digital holographic setups

High space bandwidth product computer-generated holograms using volume holography

We suggest a method for coding high resolution computer—generated volume holograms. It involves splitting the computer—generated hologram into multiple holograms, each individually recorded as a volume hologram utilizing the maximal resolution available from the spatial light modulator. Our method enables their simultaneous subsequent reconstruction. We demonstrate the recording and the reconst...

Imaging analysis of digital holography.

In this study we focus on understanding the system imaging mechanisms given rise to the unique characteristic of discretization in digital holography. Imaging analysis with respect to the system geometries is investigated and the corresponding requirements for reliable holographic imaging are specified. In addition, the imaging capacity of a digital holographic system is analyzed in terms of sp...

Information, resolution, and space-bandwidth product.

The information capacities of two-dimensional optical low-pass channels are discussed. Coherent and incoherent systems operating under finite optical power and area constraints are characterized in terms of two criteria:spacebandwidth product (SBP; the number of pixels required for achieving maximum information capacity) and resolution (G(min); the smallest spot size capable of supporting posit...

High-resolution quantitative phase-contrast microscopy by digital holography.

Techniques of digital holography are improved in order to obtain high-resolution, high-fidelity images of quantitative phase-contrast microscopy. In particular, the angular spectrum method of calculating holographic optical field is seen to have significant advantages including tight control of spurious noise components. Holographic phase images are obtained with 0.5 mum diffraction-limited lat...
