Abstract
An apparatus and method to produce a hologram of an object includes an electromagnetic radiation assembly configured to receive a received electromagnetic radiation, such as light, from the object. The electromagnetic radiation assembly is further configured to diffract the received electromagnetic radiation and transmit a diffracted electromagnetic radiation. An image capture assembly is configured to capture an image of the diffracted electromagnetic radiation and produce the hologram of the object from the captured image.
Claims20
An apparatus configured to produce a hologram of an object, said apparatus comprising:
- an electromagnetic source configured to provide incoherent electromagnetic radiation on the object;
- a correlator comprising a first optical assembly configured to receive incoherent electromagnetic radiation reflected by or scattered from the object and transmit transformed electromagnetic radiation, a mask assembly configured to receive the transformed electromagnetic radiation and transmit amplitude and/or phase modified electromagnetic radiation, and a second optical assembly configured to receive the amplitude and/or phase modified electromagnetic radiation and further transmit transformed electromagnetic radiation;
- an image capture assembly configured to capture an image of the further transmitted transformed electromagnetic radiation;
- and
- a processing system including at least one processor, the processing system configured to produce the hologram of the object based on the captured image.
An apparatus for producing a hologram of an object, said apparatus comprising:
- an electromagnetic radiation source configured to provide incoherent electromagnetic radiation on the object;
- an electromagnetic radiation assembly configured to receive incoherent electromagnetic radiation reflected by or scattered from the object and transmit a transmitted electromagnetic radiation based on the received electromagnetic radiation and propagated along a single radiation propagation axis;
- an image capture assembly configured to capture an image of the transmitted electromagnetic radiation;
- and
- a processing system including at least one processor configured to produce the hologram of the object based on the captured image.
