Multidimension-multiplexed full-phase-encoding holography

Abstract

I propose a multidimension-multiplexed imaging method with which multiple physical quantities of light are simultaneously obtained as interference fringe images. The varieties of light are distinguished by exploiting the proposed phase-encoding technique. Neither measurements of point spread functions in advance, nor iterative calculations to derive multidimensional information, nor a laser light source is required. Multidimensional imaging of an object and simultaneous three-dimensional image recording of self-luminous light and light transmitted from an object are experimentally demonstrated. A palm-sized interferometer based on the proposed holography is developed for the experiments to show its portability and physical-filter-free multidimensional imaging ability without an antivibration structure.
