Speckle Reduction by Spatial-Domain Mask in Digital Holography

The image quality improvement method using a spatial-domain mask is proposed. In the proposed method, a single hologram is required for speckle reduction. The speckle noise of the reconstructed image is suppressed by averaging different speckle patterns. The different speckle patterns are generated by shifting the rectangular aperture in the hologram plane. The experiment results including a modulation transfer function are presented to confirm the performance of the proposed method.
