Abstract
Holographic rendering of off-axis intensity digital holograms is discussed. A review of some of the main numerical processing methods, based either on the Fourier transform interpretation of the propagation integral or on its linear system counterpart, is reported. Less common methods such as adjustable magnification reconstruction schemes and Fresnelet decomposition are presented and applied to the digital treatment of off-axis holograms. The influence of experimental parameters on the classical hologram reconstruction methods is assessed, offering guidelines for optimal image rendering regarding the hologram recording conditions.

Digital decoding of in-line holograms

TL;DR: The proposed filter is a truncated series expansion of the inverse of that operator that maps object opacity function to hologram intensity, which is shown to be equivalent to conventional (optical) reconstruction, with successive terms increasingly sup-pressing the twin image.

Off-axis digital holographic microscopy: practical design parameters for operating at diffraction limit

TL;DR: A thorough analysis of the physical parameters that control the appropriate utilization of MOs in DHM is presented and a set of the criteria that consider the microscope features and the recording parameters to achieve DHM operation at the diffraction limit is derived.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a theoretical approach to understand three-dimensional spatiotemporal mode-locking, which is a process in which different modes of an optical resonator establish stable synchronization through nonlinear interactions.

Phase retrieval algorithms: a comparison.

TL;DR: Iterative algorithms for phase retrieval from intensity data are compared to gradient search methods and it is shown that both the error-reduction algorithm for the problem of a single intensity measurement and the Gerchberg-Saxton algorithm forThe problem of two intensity measurements converge.
