Incoherent digital holography with two polarization-sensitive phase-only spatial light modulators and reduced number of exposures

Abstract

I propose methods for reducing the number of exposures in incoherent digital holography with two polarization-sensitive phase-only spatial light modulators (IDH with TPP-SLMs). In IDH with TPP-SLMs, no polarization filters are required, and not only three-dimensional (3D), but polarization information is also obtained. However, seven exposures are required to conduct filter-free polarimetric incoherent holography. In this article, the optical designs and modified phase-shifting interferometry to reduce the number of recordings are described. IDH with TPP-SLMs has the potential for filter-free single-shot multidimensional incoherent holographic imaging.
