Fiber-based real-time color digital in-line holography

Appl Opt. 2013 Jul 1;52(19):4743-8. doi: 10.1364/AO.52.004743.

Abstract

An extremely simple setup for real-time color digital holography using single-mode fibers as light guides and a directional coupler as a beam-splitting device is presented. With the directional coupler we have two object beams and one residual crosstalk used as a reference beam. This facilitates the adjustment and improves robustness. With the use of graphics processing units, real-time hologram reconstruction was possible. Due to adaptation of the optical setup and scaling, zero-order and complex image influence is highly reduced.
