Tilt Aberration Compensation Using Interference Patterns in Digital Holography

We present a numerical procedure that compensates for tilt phase aberration in in-line digital holography by computing the period of interference patterns in the reconstructed phase image. This method enables the reconstruction of correct and accurate phase information, even if strong tilt aberrations exist. Example applications of tilt aberration compensation are shown for a tilted plate, a micro-lens array, and a thin film transistor. This method is convenient because it uses only one hologram and no hardware to minimize the tilt aberration.

Dual-wavelength Digital Holography Microscope for BGA Measurement Using Partial Coherence Sources

Dual-wavelength holography has a better axial range than single-wavelength holography, allowing unambiguous phase imaging. Partial coherence sources reduce coherent noise, resulting in improved reconstructed images. We measured a ball-grid array using dual-wavelength holography with partial coherence sources. This holography method is useful for measurement samples that exhibit coherence noise and have a step height larger than the single wavelength used in holography.

Study on Digital Holography with Conjugated Hologram

In this paper we have applied phase conjugated holographyto DHM (digital holography microscopy) to remove phase aberration and noise. Generally,digital holographyincludes the phase information of the object, phase aberration terms introduced by the measurement system and noise terms (DC term and twin images). These aberrations and noise terms decrease the quality of the reconstructed phase image. We could obtain a conjugated hologram which includes only phase information of object. Experimentally we show that distortion of image and aberration of phase in a measurement system are removed using the conjugation hologram.

Aspheric Lens Measurements by Digital Holographic Microscopy and Liquid

Digital holographic microscopy allows optical path difference measurement. Optical path difference depends on both the refractive index and the morphology of the sample. When interference fringes are very closely spaced, the phase data contain high frequencies where 2π ambiguities cannot be resolved. The immersion testing method, which is a transmission test while the sample is immersed in liquid, is very effective in reducing high frequency fringes in transmission measurements so that large dynamic range testing is possible for a non-null configuration. We developed a digital holographic microscope using liquid that can measure the high numerical aperture aspheric morphology of a sample. This system provides highly precise three-dimensional information on the sample. By improving the experimental method, choosing liquids which have similar refractive index to the sample, we can measure more accurate three-dimensional information on the samples.Keywords: Holography, Digital holography, Aspheric lensOCIS codes: (090.0090) Holography; (090.1760) Computer holography; (070.2590) Fourier transforms

Study on Digital Holography with Self-Reference Hologram

In this paper we have applied self-reference hologram to DHM (digital holography microscopy) to remove phase aberration. We have constructed an off-axis reflection- type digital holography microscope. We have extracted a low spatial frequency hologram from the conjugated hologram and used it as a reference hologram. Experimentally we show that distortion of image and aberration of phase in a measurement system are removed using the self-reference hologram.
