Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Digital holography is a promising quantitative phase imaging technique and has attracted intense scientific interest owning to its capability of achieving multidimensional information acquisition. Meanwhile, digital holography can acquire holograms rapidly and flexibly, and obtain full information consisting of phase and amplitude of the optical field easily. As a result of the rapid development of high-quality lasers and imaging devices, digital holography has been widely applied in many interesting fields, such as biological cell and tissues imaging, particle tracking, MEMS measurement, etc. Therefore, digital holography attracts increasing amounts of attention from the scientific community, and promotes various holographic systems, phase retrieval algorithms and image processing techniques.

This Special Issue aims to present a coverage of innovative research, development and application in digital holography. We are excited to invite researchers to submit their contributions to this Special Issue. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Digital holographic microscopy;
  • Digital holographic reconstruction;
  • Digital holographic tomography;
  • Digital holographic biomedical applications;
  • Digital holographic material applications;
  • Digital holographic polarization imaging;

Abstract
In this work, we study the polarization properties of diffraction gratings recorded in thin films of the azopolymer PAZO (poly[1-[4-(3-carboxy-4-hydroxyphenylazo)benzene sulfonamido]-1,2-ethanediyl, sodium salt]) using digital polarization holography. Using two quarter-wave plates, the phase retardation of each pixel of the SLM is converted into [...] Read more.
In this work, we study the polarization properties of diffraction gratings recorded in thin films of the azopolymer PAZO (poly[1-[4-(3-carboxy-4-hydroxyphenylazo)benzene sulfonamido]-1,2-ethanediyl, sodium salt]) using digital polarization holography. Using two quarter-wave plates, the phase retardation of each pixel of the SLM is converted into the azimuth rotation of linearly polarized light. When recording from the azopolymer side of the sample, significant surface relief amplitude is observed with atomic force microscopy. In contrast, recording from the substrate side of the sample allows the reduction of the surface relief modulation and the obtaining of polarization gratings with characteristics close to an ideal grating, recorded with two orthogonal circular polarizations. This can be achieved even with a four-pixel period of grating, as demonstrated by our results. Full article
