Stochastic digital holography for visualizing inside strongly refracting transparent objects

Abstract: This paper presents a digital holographic method to visualize and measure refractive index variations, convection currents, or thermal gradients, occurring inside a transparent and refracting object. The proof of principle is provided through the visualization of refractive index variation inside a lighting bulb. Comparison with transmission and reflection holography is also provided. A very good agreement is obtained, thus validating the proposed approach.

“…n 1 and n 2 describe the refractive index distribution before and after its change, often realized without and with the transparent object to be measured placed in the holographic arrangement. The object, whose refractive index distribution should be determined, can be a gas, a plasma, a liquid or a solid [3], [17]. Such measurements of integrated refractive index changes along a multitude of optical paths through the transparent object to be measured can be the base of a computerized tomography approach for the determination of the 3D refractive index field.…”

“…In the past, DHI has been extensively used for many applications such as measurement of temperature [49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58][67][68][69], heat transfer from surface of heated objects [52,54], diffusion coefficient [70,71], flow field analysis [72], observation of decomposition of crude oil under dispersant fluid [73], refractive index of liquids [74], heat conduction in glass [75], solution concentration variation in protein crystallization process [76], visualization of thermal gradients in bulb [77], and human skin temperature [78].…”

“…Use of lens in the optical path of object beam in digital holographic setups [11][12][13] can affect quality of reconstructed image as lens changes the propagation distance for reconstruction (sensor plane to image plane) by creating image of the object. The lens-based digital holographic setup has several applications such as particle image velocimetry [14], vibration analysis [15], visualization and measurement of refractive index variation, thermal gradients, and convection currents inside strongly refracting transparent objects [16], specular object detection [17], digital holographic imaging [18] and many NDT applications [19]. Lenses in digital holographic setups are generally used to record a large size object e.g., Schnars et al [11] and Mundt et al [12] used concave lens-based setups to reduce the spatial frequency of large size object by creating its virtual image of reduced size.…”
