3-D coherence holography using a modified Sagnac radial shearing interferometer with geometric phase shift

Opt Express. 2009 Jun 22;17(13):10633-41. doi: 10.1364/oe.17.010633.

Abstract

A new image reconstruction scheme for coherence holography using a modified Sagnac-type radial shearing interferometer with geometric phase shift is proposed, and the first experimental demonstration of generic Leith-type coherence holography, which reconstructs off-axis 3-D objects with depth information, is presented. The reconstructed image, represented by a coherence function, can be visualized with a controllable magnification, which opens up a new possibility for a coherence imaging microscope.
