Study on application of Reference Conjugated Hologram for aberration correction of multiple object planes

Abstract

Aberration correction using Reference Conjugated Hologram (RCH) method is investigated. However we use it not for a single but for a number of reconstructed object planes in Digital Holographic Microscopy (DHM). We build an off-axis DHM for testing the performance of the method. The limits of this method have been studied. We compare in-line with aberration compensated off-axis DHM. The in-line DHM compensates quite the same aberrations physically as the RCH method numerically.
