Abstract

A lens-less system for holographic imaging or a holographic imaging device is provided. The method/device includes a stationary image sensor to capture an image of a sample illuminated by light from a stationary illumination source. A reference lens-less holographic image may be captured and used as a base line to reduce image artifacts and/or remove noise from the lens-less holographic image. Since real wavefronts produced by a diverging point source are neither perfectly spherical nor planar but a combination of both qualities, theoretical estimates for wavefront reconstruction based on perfectly planar or spherical incident waves cannot be applied accurately. The method/device here provides a solution by performing a calibrated wavefront reconstruction based on equations governing coherent light propagation for both spherical waves and planar waves with a mathematical correlation between numerical magnification and propagation depth to produce accurate three-dimensional details of the object.
