Rainbow holography with a synthesized double slit is proposed. Diffuse three-dimensional objects are translated uniformly in the x(0)-y(0) plane. The propagation direction of the coherent plane wave illuminating the objects is situated in the x(0)-z(0) plane. As a result of this process, a sinc function that modulates the complex-amplitude distribution of the objects is presented on the back focal plane of the lens, and the synthesized slit is formed. The central position of the synthesized slit depends on both the direction of motion of the object and the spatial frequency of the illuminating wave in the x(0) direction. Therefore the synthesized double slit is generated with a two-exposure method that has two illuminating waves of different spatial frequencies. The theoretical analysis and some experimental results are presented.
Pseudocolor encoding of holographic images by rainbow holography with no slit is proposed. The pseudocolor holographic image is obtained by white-light reconstruction of the rainbow hologram with no slit. The basic advantage of this technique is the elimination of a narrow slit in the encoding process. The theoretical analysis and experimental results are presented.
A new method of one-step rainbow holography of diffuse three-dimensional objects with no slit is proposed. Diffuse three-dimensional objects are translated uniformly along the direction of the y(0) axis. A coherent plane wave illuminates the objects and its propagation direction is situated on the x(0)-z(0) plane. As a result of this process, a sinc function modulating the complex amplitude distribution of the objects is produced in the back focal plane of the lens. Therefore, rainbow holography is achieved. Theoretical analysis and some experimental results are presented.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
