Digital in-line holography with an elliptical, astigmatic Gaussian beam: wide-angle reconstruction.

We demonstrate that the effect of object shift in an elliptical, astigmatic Gaussian beam does not affect the optimal fractional orders used to reconstruct the holographic image of a particle or another opaque object in the field. Simulations and experimental results are presented.
