Single-shot dual-wavelength phase reconstruction in off-axis digital holography with polarization-multiplexing transmission.

A new system for single-shot dual-wavelength digital holographic microscopy with polarization-multiplexing path-shared transmission is presented. The key feature of the optical configuration is that the interference waves of two wavelengths having orthogonal polarization can transmit in the same interferometer paths at the same time, and two polarizers orthogonal to each other are placed in front of the CCD to realize single-shot recording of two holograms. The correlative filtering algorithm of the spatial-frequency spectrum for dual-wavelength digital holograms is reliable and efficient in the dual-wavelength path-shared configuration. The phase reconstruction in dual-wavelength digital holographic imaging is achieved by using this filtering algorithm. The experiment results of phase reconstruction of a groove grating demonstrate the reliability and validity of this optical configuration and the correlative filtering algorithm. This polarization-multiplexing configuration for dual-wavelength digital holography is compact and has more flexibility for the replacement of different-wavelength lasers.
