Self-interference polarization holographic imaging of a three-dimensional incoherent scene

2016 
We present a self-interference polarization holographic imaging (Si-Phi) technique to capture the three-dimensional information of an incoherent scene in a single shot. The light from the scene is modulated by a polarization-dependent lens, and a complex-valued polarization hologram is obtained by measuring directly the polarization profile of the light at the detection plane. Using a backward-propagating Green's function, we can numerically retrieve the transverse intensity profile of the scene at any desired focus plane. We demonstrate experimentally our Si-Phi technique by imaging, in real time, three-dimensional mimicked incoherent scenes created by a fast spatial light modulator.
