Compact self-interference incoherent digital holographic camera system with real-time operation

Opt Express. 2019 Feb 18;27(4):4818-4833. doi: 10.1364/OE.27.004818.

Abstract

The video recording-capable compact incoherent digital holographic camera system is proposed. The system consists of the linear polarizer, convex lens, geometric phase lens, and the polarized image sensor. The Fresnel hologram is recorded by this simple configuration in real time. The system parameters are analyzed and evaluated to record a better-quality hologram in a compact form-factor. The real-time holographic recording and its digitally reconstructed video playback are demonstrated with the proposed system.
