Experimental demonstration of a digital holographic microscope based on a planar lightwave circuit

Abstract

We have developed a Digital Holographic Microscope based on a Planar Lightwave Circuit (PLC-DHM) that uses a spherical surface reference wave. This PLC-DHM is performed without any lenses for magnification of the object image. In this study, we evaluated the performance of this PLC-DHM system and measured bio samples.
