Definitions

  • the invention relates generally to the field of direct-to-digital holography (interferometry). More particularly, the invention relates to rapid acquisition of off-axis illuminated holograms for direct-to-digital holography.
  • FIG. 1 illustrates one simplified embodiment of a DDH system.
  • Light from a laser source 105 is expanded by a beam expander/spatial filter 110 and then travels through a lens 115. Subsequently, the expanded filtered light travels to a beamsplitter 120.
  • the beamsplitter 120 may be partially reflective. The portion of light reflected from the beamsplitter 120 constitutes an object beam 125 which travels to the object 130.
  • the portion of the object beam 125 is that is reflected by the object 130 then passes through the beamsplitter 120 and travels to a focusing lens 145. This light then passes through the focusing lens 145 and travels to a charge coupled device (CCD) camera (not shown).
  • CCD charge coupled device
  • the portion of the light from the lens 115 that passes through the beamsplitter 120 constitutes a reference beam 135.
  • the reference beam 135 is reflected from a mirror 140 at a small angle.
  • the reflected reference beam 135 from the mirror then travels toward the beamsplitter 120.
  • the portion of the reference beam 135 that is reflected from the beamsplitter 120 then travels through the focusing lens 145 and toward the CCD camera (not shown).
  • the object beam 125 from the focusing lens 145 and the reference beam 135 from the focusing lens 145 constitute a plurality of object and reference waves 150 and will interfere at the CCD to produce the interference pattern characteristic of a hologram as noted in U.S. Pat. No. 6,078,392.
  • the object beam 125 is parallel to, and coincident with, the optical axis 127.
  • This type of DDH set-up can be referred to as on-axis illumination.
  • a limitation of this technology has been that the imaging resolution of the DDH system is limited by the optics of the system.
  • the most notable limitation of the optics is the aperture stop, which is required to prevent degradation of the image quality due to aberrations.
  • a process of recording a plurality of off-axis illuminated spatially heterodyne holograms, each of the off-axis illuminated spatially heterodyne holograms including spatially heterodyne fringes for Fourier analysis comprises: digitally recording, with a first illumination source of an interferometer, a first off-axis illuminated spatially heterodyne hologram including spatially heterodyne fringes for Fourier analysis; and digitally recording, with a second illumination source of the interferometer, a second off-axis illuminated spatially heterodyne hologram including spatially heterodyne fringes for Fourier analysis.
  • a machine operable to digitally record a plurality of off-axis illuminated spatially heterodyne holograms including spatially heterodyne fringes for Fourier analysis comprises: a plurality of illumination sources; a beamsplitter optically coupled to the plurality of illumination sources; a reference beam mirror optically coupled to the beamsplitter; a focusing lens optically coupled to the reference beam mirror; a digital recorder optically coupled to the focusing lens; and a computer that performs a Fourier transform, applies a digital filter, and performs an inverse Fourier transform, wherein a reference beam is incident upon the reference beam mirror at a non- normal angle, an object beam is incident upon an object at an angle with respect to an optical axis defined by the focusing lens, the reference beam and the object beam are focused by the focusing lens at a focal plane of the digital recorder to form an off-axis illuminated spatially heterodyne hologram including spatially heterodyne fringes
  • FIG. 1 illustrates a schematic view of a conventional direct-to-digital holography apparatus, appropriately labeled "PRIOR ART.”
  • FIG. 2 illustrates a schematic view of an off-axis illumination direct-to-digital holography apparatus (interferometer) in an on-axis position, representing an embodiment of the invention.
  • FIG. 3 illustrates a schematic view of the off-axis illumination direct-to-digital holography apparatus (interferometer) of FIG. 2 in an off-axis position.
  • FIG. 4 illustrates a schematic view of an off-axis illumination direct-to-digital holography apparatus (interferometer) with multiple illumination sources, representing an embodiment of the invention.
  • the context of the invention can include obtaining, storing and/or replaying digital data.
  • the context of the invention can include processing digital data that represents an image.
  • the context of the invention can also include transforming data from multiple images into a merged image.
  • the invention can include a method of acquiring improved resolution holographic imagery from a direct-to-digital holography system using off-axis illumination.
  • the invention can also include an apparatus for acquiring improved resolution holographic imagery with a direct-to- digital holography (DDH) system that uses off-axis illumination.
  • DDH direct-to- digital holography
  • the object to be observed is optically coupled to an illumination source via one or more optical components.
  • the illumination beam is typically passed through the center of the target objective (i.e., lens system) along, and thus parallel to, the optical axis.
  • This type of DDH configuration can be referred to as "on-axis illumination” and allows spatial frequencies (q) of the object to be acquired up to a certain limit (qO), which is determined by the objective aperture.
  • the invention can include an "off-axis illumination” scenario, where the illumination source is displaced laterally so that the beam will pass through the object objective off-center yet still parallel to the optical axis.
  • the illumination will, due to the focusing effect of the objective, be incident upon the object at some angle to the optical axis. Due to this off-axis illumination, higher spatial frequencies (q>q0) of the object can pass through the objective aperture, and thus be observed, than can with on-axis illumination. This is an important advantage of the invention.
  • the invention can include an extended DDH system (apparatus) adapted to digitally capture the on-axis- and one, or more, off-axis-illuminated holograms of the same object.
  • the invention can also include analyzing and/or processing (fusing) the digitally captured data.
  • the resulting, fused image will contain a wider range of spatial frequencies than in any of the original holograms, thus providing a significant increase in the nominal imaging resolution of the system compared to the case where no off-axis-illuminated data is available.
  • the imaging resolution of fundamental DDH systems is limited by the optics, most notably the aperture stop, which is required to prevent degradation of the image quality due to aberrations.
  • the optics of the DDH system are such that only object spatial frequencies within a circle of radius qO can be transmitted.
  • the aperture with radius qO appears shifted (e.g., to the left) in the frequency domain. This implies that in the direction in which the aperture is shifted, spatial frequencies with q>q0 axe transmitted.
  • some spatial frequencies with q close to qO are "lost" in the opposite direction.
  • the aperture By acquiring a second image with the illumination shifted in the opposite direction, the aperture appears shifted (e.g., to the right) and thus the spatial frequencies "lost" from the first image are regained with additional frequencies beyond qO. Fusing the information from the two images results in one image with better resolution. Since DDH records the phase information on the complex image wave, the information from both (or more) images can be fused with surprisingly advantageous results.
  • the invention improves the resolution of generic object structures regardless of orientation.
  • the invention can include an extension of the fundamental DDH system to automatically capture both on-axis and off-axis illuminated holograms.
  • the invention can also include methods to analyze and fuse the results of these holograms to produce a representation of the observed object with more spatial resolution than available in the prior DDH art.
  • the object beam 125 is parallel to the optical axis 127.
  • this set-up can be referred to as on-axis illumination.
  • Off-axis illumination refers to the case where the object beam 125 is incident upon the object 130 at some angle with respect to the optical axis 127 (an example is illustrated by the object team 215,305 shown in FIG. 3).
  • FIGS. 2 and 3 an embodiment of an off-axis illumination DDH apparatus is illustrated.
  • FIGS. 2 and 3 there are two primary modifications from FIG. 1.
  • a first modification is that the laser source 105, the beam expander/spatial filter 110, and the lens
  • the enclosure 205 can be movable along an axis that is substantially parallel to the optical axis 127. In more detail, the enclosure 205 can be movable along an axis that is substantially coplanar with a normal to the beamsplitter 120.
  • a second modification is the addition of the object objective 210.
  • the laser source enclosure 205 is positioned so that the object beam 125 reflects off of the beamsplitter 120 to pass through the center of the object objective 210.
  • the object beam 125 then leaves the object objective 210 and is incident upon the object 130, centered around the optical axis 127. hi this configuration, on-axis illumination is achieved and the system of FIG. 2 is effectively the same as that in FIG. 1.
  • the laser source enclosure 205 is shifted (up in this particular configuration) so that the object beam 125 passes through the object objective 210 off-center.
  • the laser source enclosure 205 can alternatively be shifted down.
  • the object beam 215 leaving the object objective 210 is incident upon the object 130 at some angle with respect to the optical axis 127, thereby achieving off-axis illumination.
  • the object beam 215 can be incident upon the object 130 substantially non-parallel to the optic axis 127.
  • the object beam 305 reflected from the object passes back through the object objective 210 off-axis, but due to the optical properties of the object objective 210 and the focusing lens 150 is still focused on the CCD (not shown).
  • the properties of diffraction imply that the hologram formed at the CCD by the interference of the object beam 305 and the reference beam 135 will contain some spatial frequencies of the object that are not observed using on-axis illumination.
  • the invention can include an apparatus operable to digitally record a spatially heterodyne hologram including spatially heterodyne fringes for Fourier analysis, comprising: a laser; a beamsplitter optically coupled to the laser; a reference beam mirror optically coupled to the beamsplitter; an object optically coupled to the beamsplitter; a focusing lens optically coupled to both the reference beam mirror and the object; a digital recorder optically coupled to the focusing lens; and a computer for performing a Fourier transform, applying a digital filter, and performing an inverse Fourier transform, wherein a reference beam is incident upon the reference beam mirror at a non-normal angle, an object beam is incident upon the object at an angle with respect to an optical axis defined by the focusing lens, the reference beam and an object beam, which constitute a plurality of simultaneous reference and object waves, are focused by the focusing lens at a focal plane of the digital recorder to form a spatially heterodyne hologram including spatially heterody

  • the digital recorder can include a CCD camera 350 that defines pixels.
  • the apparatus can include a beam expander/spatial filter 230 optically coupled between the laser and the beamsplitter.
  • the angle between the reference beam and the object beam, and a magnification provided by the focusing lens, can be selected in order that the digital recorder may resolve features of the spatially heterodyne hologram including spatially heterodyne fringes for Fourier analysis. So that the digital recorder may resolve a feature, two fringes, each having two pixels per fringe, can be provided.
  • the invention can include a spatially heterodyne hologram produced by the above-described apparatus, embodied on a computer- readable medium.
  • the invention can include a method of recording a spatially heterodyne hologram including spatially heterodyne fringes for Fourier analysis, comprising: splitting a laser beam into a reference beam and an object beam; reflecting the reference beam from a reference mirror at a non-normal angle; reflecting the object beam from an object at an angle with respect to an optical axis defined by a focusing lens; focusing the reference beam and the object beam, which constitute a plurality of simultaneous reference and object waves, with the focusing lens at a focal plane of a digital recorder to form a spatially heterodyne hologram including spatially heterodyne fringes for Fourier analysis; digitally recording the spatially heterodyne hologram including spatially heterodyne fringes for Fourier analysis; Fourier analyzing the recorded spatially heterodyne hologram including spatially heterodyne fringes by transforming axes of the recorded spatially heterodyne hologram including spatially heterodyne fringes in Fourier
  • the method can include diffracting the object beam with an object objective before reflecting the object beam from an object at an angle with respect to an optical axis defined by a focusing lens and after reflecting the object beam from an object at an angle with respect to an optical axis defined by a focusing lens.
  • the step of transforming axes of the recorded spatially heterodyne hologram can include transforming with an extended Fourier transform.
  • the step of digitally recording can include detecting the beams with a CCD camera that defines pixels.
  • the off-axis illuminated spatially heterodyne hologram can be an off-axis illuminated spatially low-frequency heterodyne hologram; the phrase low-frequency implies that the fundamental fringe spatial frequency is below the Nyquist sampling limit.
  • the method can also include storing the spatially heterodyne hologram including spatially heterodyne fringes for Fourier analysis as digital data.
  • the method can also include replaying the Fourier analyzed spatially heterodyne hologram.
  • the method can also include transmitting the Fourier analyzed spatially heterodyne hologram.
  • the invention can include a spatially heterodyne hologram prepared by the above-described method(s), embodied on a computer-readable medium.
  • the illumination source enclosure 120 is mechanically displaced so that the object beam 130 passes through the object objective 135 off-center. If only a single object illumination source is used, this implies that the capture of successive, differently illuminated holograms requires the mechanical movement of the object illumination source. Such mechanical movement can be quite slow. The mechanical displacement of the illumination source can limit application of off-axis technology in time-constrained scenarios. Therefore, there is also a need for an approach that addresses the need for high-speed off-axis illumination capabilities.

  • the invention can include multiple, computer-controlled sources that are switched off and on in rapid succession to capture the different holograms. By eliminating physical displacement of the illumination and the associated time cost, the invention permits off-axis illumination, with its associated imaging resolution improvement, to be applied in time-constrained environments where it was previously inapplicable.
  • the invention can include multiple illumination sources 120.
  • FIG. 4 employs five sources only as a representative example.
  • the multiple illumination sources can be computer controlled so that they can be switched off and on in rapid succession, allowing the capture of multiple, differently illuminated holograms without physically displacing any components.
  • the result will be a substantial time savings since methods for rapidly switching the illumination sources (well known to those skilled in the art) require much less time than physical displacement.
  • the system may still maintain physical displacement capabilities for additional flexibility.
