digital holography, techniques in suppressing noises derived from reference arm are maturely developed. However, techniques for the object counterpart are not being well developed. Optical phase conjugation technique was believed to be a promising method for this interest. A 0°-cut BaTiO3 photorefractive crystal was involved in self-pumped phase conjugation scheme, and was employed to in-line digital holographic microscopy, in both transmission-type and reflection-type configuration. On pure physical compensation basis, results revealed that the image fidelity was improved substantially with 2.9096 times decrease in noise level and 3.5486 times increase in the ability to discriminate noise on average, by suppressing the scattering noise prior to recording stage.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations –citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
