Speckle suppression in digital holographic imaging with random phases and different wavelengths

Abstract. An effective speckle suppression method in digital holography is experimentally demonstrated with a wavelength-tunable coherent light source and a moving diffuser. Multiple off-axis digital holograms with different wavelengths and random phases are obtained. The Fresnel transformation algorithm is used to calculate the diffraction integral in the reconstruction. The speckle noise in the reconstructed images is suppressed by superposing and averaging the intensity of multiple reconstruction images. Experiment results and the parameter evaluation show that the presented method is effective and feasible.
