Full field vertical scanning in short coherence digital holographic microscope

Christian Depeursinge, Christophe Moser, Etienne Cuche, Frédéric Montfort

In Digital holography Microscopes (DHM) implemented in the so-called "off axis" configuration, the object and reference wave fronts are not co-planar but form an angle of a few degrees. This results into two main drawbacks. First, the contrast of the inter ...

Extended depth-of-focus by digital holographic microscopy

Christian Depeursinge, Tristan Colomb, Etienne Cuche, Jonas Kühn, Nicolas Pavillon

A recurrent problem in microscopy is the finite depth-of-focus linked to the NA of microscope objectives. Digital holographic microscopy (DHM) has the unique feature of being able to numerically change the focus from a single hologram without the need of m ...

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

Christian Depeursinge, Tristan Colomb, Etienne Cuche, Frédéric Montfort, Pierre Marquet, Florian Charrière, Jonas Kühn

A technique to perform two-wavelengths digital holographic microscopy (DHM) measurements with a single hologram acquisition is presented. The vertical measurement range without phase ambiguity is extended to the micron-range, thanks to the resulting synthe ...

WAVE FRONT SENSING METHOD AND APPARATUS

Christian Depeursinge, Tristan Colomb, Etienne Cuche, Frédéric Montfort, Nicolas Aspert, Florian Charrière, Pierre Marquet, Stéphane Bourquin, Mihaela Marian

A new way of mixing instrumental and digital means is described for the general field of wave front sensing. The present invention describes the use, the definition and the utility of digital operators, called digital wave front operators (DWFO) or ... A n ...

Cell refractive index tomography by digital holographic microscopy

Christian Depeursinge, Tristan Colomb, Etienne Cuche, Frédéric Montfort, Pierre Marquet, Florian Charrière, Jonas Kühn, Mihaela Marian

For what we believe to be the first time, digital holographic microscopy is applied to perform optical diffraction tomography of a pollen grain. Transmission phase images with nanometric axial accuracy are numerically reconstructed from holograms acquired ...

Automatic procedure for aberration compensation in digital holographic microscopy and applications to specimen shape compensation

Christian Depeursinge, Tristan Colomb, Etienne Cuche, Frédéric Montfort, Nicolas Aspert, Florian Charrière, Pierre Marquet, Jonas Kühn

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 ...

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

Christian Depeursinge, Tristan Colomb, Etienne Cuche, Frédéric Montfort, Nicolas Aspert, Florian Charrière, Pierre Marquet, Jonas Kühn, Stéphane Bourquin, Mihaela Marian

The concept of numerical parametric lenses (NPL) is introduced to achieve wavefront reconstruction in digital holography. It is shown that operations usually performed by optical components and described in ray geometrical optics, such as image shifting, m ...

Characterization of microlenses by digital holographic microscopy

Christian Depeursinge, Tristan Colomb, Etienne Cuche, Frédéric Montfort, Pierre Marquet, Florian Charrière, Jonas Kühn

We demonstrate the use of digital holographic microscopy (DHM) as a metrological tool in micro-optics testing. Measurement principles are compared with those performed with Twyman-Green, Mach-Zehnder, and white-light interferometers. Measurements performed ...

Shot noise influence in reconstructed phase image SNR in digital holographic microscopy

Christian Depeursinge, Tristan Colomb, Etienne Cuche, Frédéric Montfort, Pierre Marquet, Florian Charrière

In digital holographic microscopy, shot noise is an intrinsic part of the recording process with the digital camera. We present a study based on simulations and real measurements describing the shot-noise influence in the quality of the reconstructed phase ...
