TLDR
A procedure that compensates for phase aberrations in digital holographic microscopy by computing a polynomial phase mask directly from the hologram, which enables one to reconstruct correct and accurate phase distributions, even in the presence of strong and high-order aberration.
Abstract
We present a procedure that compensates for phase aberrations in digital holographic microscopy by computing a polynomial phase mask directly from the hologram. The phase-mask parameters are computed automatically without knowledge of physical values such as wave vectors, focal lengths, or distances. This method enables one to reconstruct correct and accurate phase distributions, even in the presence of strong and high-order aberrations. Examples of applications are shown for microlens imaging and for compensating for the deformations associated with a tilted thick plate. Finally we show that this method allows compensation for the curvature of the specimen, revealing its surface defects and roughness. Examples of applications are shown for microlenses and metallic sphere imaging.

Wide-field, high-resolution Fourier ptychographic microscopy

TL;DR: An imaging method, termed Fourier ptychographic microscopy (FPM), which iteratively stitches together a number of variably illuminated, low-resolution intensity images in Fourier space to produce a wide-field, high-resolution complex sample image, which can also correct for aberrations and digitally extend a microscope's depth-of-focus beyond the physical limitations of its optics.

Real-time dual-wavelength digital holographic microscopy with a single hologram acquisition

TL;DR: In this paper, a technique to perform two-wavelengths digital holographic microscopy (DHM) measurements with a single hologram acquisition is presented, where the vertical measurement range without phase ambiguity is extended to the micron range, thanks to the resulting synthetic wavelength defined by the beating of two wavelengths with a separation of about 80nm.

Numerical parametric lens for shifting, magnification, and complete aberration compensation in digital holographic microscopy

TL;DR: It is shown that operations usually performed by optical components and described in ray geometrical optics, such as image shifting, magnification, and especially complete aberration compensation, can be mimicked by numerical computation of a NPL.

Spatial filtering for zero-order and twin-image elimination in digital off-axis holography

TL;DR: Off-axis holograms recorded with a CCD camera are numerically reconstructed with a calculation of scalar diffraction in the Fresnel approximation and the zero order of diffraction and the twin image are digitally eliminated by means of filtering their associated spatial frequencies in the computed Fourier transform of the hologram.

Compensation of the inherent wave front curvature in digital holographic coherent microscopy for quantitative phase-contrast imaging

TL;DR: An approach is proposed for removing the wavefront curvature introduced by the microscope imaging objective in digital holography, which otherwise hinders the phase contrast imaging at reconstruction planes and it is shown that a correction effect can be obtained at all reconstruction planes.
