Synthetic Aperture Holography by Movement of Object [5636-92] Synthetic aperture digital holography by movement of object ∗ Yu Z ha ng , Xiaoxu Lü1, Yinlong Luo, Liyun Zhong, Canlin She Laser Institute of Kunming University of Science and Technology, Kunming, Yunnan, P.R.china, 650051 ABSTRACT Synthetic aperture technique can be used to improve the reconstruction image resolution of digital hologram. In this paper, a synthetic aperture digital holographic method is proposed. In the method, the recording of synthetic aperture digital hologram is carried out by means of object movement in one direction, and the reconstruction is achieved by cross-correlation synthesis technique. Compared to the digital holography without synthetic aperture technique, only a one-dimension movable bracket is added in the experimental setup. The recorded object fixed on the movable bracket is placed in Mach-Zehnder interferometer and moved along horizontal direction. For the purpose of aperture synthesis reconstructing, four sub-digital holograms have been recorded by a CCD camera. While recording, superposition area of about half pixels of single digital hologram size should be assured between the adjacent holograms in order to ensure that the sub-digital holograms are synthesized accurately. The experimental result shows that every horizontal line of the reconstruction image is distinct in the synthetic aperture digital hologram, but the transverse is unidentifiable in the images reconstructed from the single digital holograms. It can be seen obviously that compared to sub-digital hologram the reconstruction image resolution of synthetic aperture digital hologram is improved. Keywords: Holography, digital holography, hologram, aperture, synthetic aperture, reconstruction, resolution, CCD camera, cross-correlation, intensity correlation. 1. INTRODUCTION In recent years, along with the development of computer technology and highly sensitive and real-time CCD camera, a great step forward has been made in holography1-5. But for the small amount of pixels, the effective recording area is much minor compared to the traditional holographic recording material. This leads to low resolution of reconstruction image in digital holography. For little aberration optical system, the theoretical equation of resolution can be expressed as ∆θ = λ 1.22 / D (1) Where D, λ and ∆θ represent the diameter of entrance pupil, wavelength of the homogeneous light and the minimum angular resolution of the optical system respectively. ∗ E-mail address: [email protected]. 1E-mail address: [email protected]; phone: +86(0871)3304093; fax: +86(0871)3304093. Holography, Diffractive Optics, and Applications II, edited by Yunlong Sheng, 581 Dahsiung Hsu, Chongxiu Yu, Byoungho Lee, Proceedings of SPIE Vol. 5636 (SPIE, Bellingham, WA, 2005) · 0277-786X/05/$15 · doi: 10.1117/12.573772 From the equation (1), it can be seen obviously that when wavelength is chosen, the resolution of optical system is dependent on the size of its transmission aperture D without regard to the environment noise. Therefore, in digital holography when monochromatic coherent source is selected, the resolution is mainly determined by the diameter of CCD camera. But for a variety of limiting conditions, it is impossible to increase the CCD pupil infinitely. To improve the reconstruction image resolution of digital hologram without adding extra main equipment, the method to increase the equivalent pupil of CCD by synthetic aperture technique is proposed in this paper. Recently, several reports about synthetic aperture digital holography have appeared and some preliminary study achievements in resolution improvement of reconstructed image are showed in these reports. According to Le. Lierc and M. Gross6, the synthetic aperture used in phase-shifting digital holography is acquired by moving a two-dimension detector and the method is demonstrated both theoretically and experimentally. In the report of Jürgen H.Massig7, the synthetic aperture digital hologram is reconstructed from camera recordings at nine different positions. Binet and Colineau8 propose an active optical synthetic aperture-imaging system in which a phase-step setup is required and the aperture synthesis is executed in one direction by means of rotation of object. A synthetic aperture obtained by object translation in horizontal direction is proposed in this paper. No phase shifters are required, which results in a less complex setup. In this method, the illumination object wave front and the reference arriving at CCD target surface is unchanged all along; this will overcome the inhomogeneity of the approximate plane wave. 2. THE DISTRIBUTION OF COMPLEX OPTICAL FIELD ON RECORDING AND RECONSTRUCTION PLANE IN SYNTHETIC APERTURE DIGITAL HOLOGRAPHY The coordination system schematic of the optical arrangement is shown in Fig.1. Here and in what follows, the object and CCD plane are represented by x0 y0 and x y respectively and the distance between recording object and CCD camera is represented by character z. If complex amplitude of homogeneous plane reference light and diffracted field distribution of an arbitrary object point (x0, y0) on CCD target surface are represented by R(x, y) and O(x0, y0 ；x, y) Reference beam Beam splitter CCD Object y z x Z Computer x0 y0 xy Fig.1. Coordination system of object and hologram respectively, then the complex amplitude of the digital hologram in the CCD plane can be written as 582 Proc. of SPIE Vol. 5636 = + 2 I(x, y) |O(xO , yO ,x, y) R(x, y)| (2) = 2 + 2 + * + * |O(xO , yO ,x, y)| | R(x, y)| O(xO , yO,x, y)R (x, y) O (xO, yO, x, y)R(x, y) Where * is the complex-conjugate operator and I(x, y) represents the complex amplitude of optical field in CCD plane. Let it be supposed that the recording positions are 1、2、3、…….N. During the movement of object and sub-digital holograms recording, we choose the object center when it is in the first position as the origin of x0y0 coordinate and the ideal image point of object center in CCD plane in every recording position as the xy coordinate origin. It is easy to know that the zero point of xy plane is shifting with the movement of the object. When the recording object is in position n, an arbitrary object and hologram point coordinate are written as (xon, yon) and (x, y) respectively. Then the sub-digital hologram recorded in position n can be represented as follow = 2 + 2 + * + * ∈ In (x, y) |O(xon, yon;x, y)| | R(x, y)| O(xon, yon;x, y)R (x, y) O (xon, yon;x, y)R(x, y) x, y Sn (3) Where Sn is the area of sub-digital hologram in position n. Then the synthetic aperture digital hologram combined by sub-digital holograms can be expressed as N N = = [ 2 + 2 + * + * ] I(x, y) ∑In (x, y) ∑ |O(xon, yon; x, y)| | R(x, y)| O(xon, yon;x, y)R (x, y) O (xon, yon;x, y)R(x, y) n=1 n=1 x, y∈(S1∪S2∪S3．．．．．．∪Sn） (4) If the simulated reconstruction reference beam of sub-digital hologram and synthetic aperture digital hologram is the same as the recording plane reference wave ( Cn(x, y)=C(x, y)=R(x, y)), then the complex amplitude distribution of reconstruction optical field of the sub-digital hologram recorded in position n can be expressed as = An (x, y) I n (x, y)C n (x, y) = [ 2 + 2 + * + | O(xon , yon , x, y) | | R(x, y) | O(xon , yon , x, y)R (x, y) * ] ∈ O (xon , yon , x, y)R(x, y) C(x, y) x, y Sn (5) = 2 + 2 + | O(xon , yon , x, y) | R(x, y) | R(x, y) | R(x, y) 2 + * 2 | R(x, y) | O(xon , yon , x, y) O (xon , yon , x, y)R (x, y) The reconstruction optical field of synthetic aperture digital hologram is A(x, y) = I(x, y)C(x, y) N = [ 2 + 2 + * + * ] ∑|O(xon, yon;x, y)| | R(x, y)| O(xon, yon; x, y)R (x, y) O (xon, yon;x, y)R(x, y) R(x, y) n=1 N = { 2 + 2 + 2 + * 2 } ∑ |O(xon, yon; x, y)| R(x, y) | R(x, y)| R(x, y) O(xon, yon; x, y)| R(x, y)| O (xon, yon; x, y)R (x, y) n=1 N = ∑An (x, y) n=1 x, y∈(S1∪S2∪S3．．．．．．∪Sn) (6) From equation (6), a conclusion can be reached: if a plane reference beam same as the recording reference beam is Proc. of SPIE Vol. 5636 583 chosen to reconstruct the sub-digital holograms and the synthetic aperture hologram, the superposition of the sub-reconstruction optical fields is just the complex amplitude distribution of the synthetic aperture digital hologram reconstruction optical field. 3. THE RECORDING AND RECONSTRUCTION METHOD OF SYNTHETIC APERTURE DIGITAL HOLOGRAPHY 3.1 Recording The fundamental light path of synthetic aperture digital holography is the same as the ordinary digital holography. The only difference is while recording each sub-digital hologram, the relative position of digital hologram and CCD camera must be changed. If CCD camera is moved parallel to the hologram plane and the arrangement of optical system hold the line, the Sub-hologram 1 Sub-hologram 2 whole hologram will not be changed but the part of (a) Two adjacent sub-holograms hologram on the CCD target surface will be varied. The mentioned reports6-8 about synthetic aperture digital holography are all based on this. When the illumination and the reference beam are plane, on any plane perpendicular to the light propagation Template n direction, the intensity and phase are both constant n1 2 value. Therefore, if the recording object is moved in (b) Template taking and recognizing such a plan and CCD camera is positioned perpendicular to the hologram plan, the relative intensity and phase distribution of the whole digital hologram will not change.

  • Depth of Field PDF Only
    Depth of Field for Digital Images Robin D. Myers Better Light, Inc. In the days before digital images, before the advent of roll film, photography was accomplished with photosensitive emulsions spread on glass plates. After processing and drying the glass negative, it was contact printed onto photosensitive paper to produce the final print. The size of the final print was the same size as the negative. During this period some of the foundational work into the science of photography was performed. One of the concepts developed was the circle of confusion. Contact prints are usually small enough that they are normally viewed at a distance of approximately 250 millimeters (about 10 inches). At this distance the human eye can resolve a detail that occupies an angle of about 1 arc minute. The eye cannot see a difference between a blurred circle and a sharp edged circle that just fills this small angle at this viewing distance. The diameter of this circle is called the circle of confusion. Converting the diameter of this circle into a size measurement, we get about 0.1 millimeters. If we assume a standard print size of 8 by 10 inches (about 200 mm by 250 mm) and divide this by the circle of confusion then an 8x10 print would represent about 2000x2500 smallest discernible points. If these points are equated to their equivalence in digital pixels, then the resolution of a 8x10 print would be about 2000x2500 pixels or about 250 pixels per inch (100 pixels per centimeter). The circle of confusion used for 4x5 film has traditionally been that of a contact print viewed at the standard 250 mm viewing distance.

  • Samyang T-S 24Mm F/3.5 ED AS
    GEAR GEAR ON TEST: Samyang T-S 24mm f/3.5 ED AS UMC As the appeal of tilt-shift lenses continues to broaden, Samyang has unveiled a 24mm perspective-control optic in a range of popular fittings – and at a price that’s considerably lower than rivals from Nikon and Canon WORDS TERRY HOPE raditionally, tilt-shift lenses have been seen as specialist products, aimed at architectural T photographers wanting to correct converging verticals and product photographers seeking to maximise depth-of-field. The high price of such lenses reflects the low numbers sold, as well as the precision nature of their design and construction. But despite this, the tilt-shift lens seems to be undergoing something of a resurgence in popularity. This increasing appeal isn’t because photographers are shooting more architecture or box shots. It’s more down to the popularity of miniaturisation effects in landscapes, where such a tiny part of the frame is in focus that it appears as though you are looking at a scale model, rather than the real thing. It’s an effect that many hobbyist DSLRs, CSCs and compacts can generate digitally, and it’s straightforward to create in Photoshop too, but these digital recreations are just approximations. To get the real thing you’ll need to shoot with a tilt-shift lens. Up until now that would cost you over £1500, and when you consider the number of assignments you might shoot in a year using a tilt-shift lens, that’s not great value for money. Things are set to change, though, because there’s The optical quality of the lens is very good, and is a new kid on the block in the shape of the Samyang T-S testament to the reputation that Samyang is rapidly 24mm f/3.5 ED AS UMC, which has a street price of less gaining in the optics market.

  • Backlighting
    Challenge #1 - Capture Light Bokeh Have you seen those beautiful little circles of colour and light in the background of photos? It’s called Bokeh and it comes from the Japanese word “boke” meaning blur. It’s so pretty and not only does it make a gorgeous backdrop for portraits, but it can be the subject in it’s own right too! It’s also one of the most fun aspects of learning photography, being able to capture your own lovely bokeh! And that’s what our first challenge is all about, Capturing Light Bokeh! And remember - just as I said in this video, the purpose of these challenges is NOT to take perfect photos the first time you try something new… it’s about looking for light, trying new techniques, and exploring your creativity to help you build your skills and motivate and inspire you. So lets have fun & I can’t wait to see your photos! Copyright 2017 - www.clicklovegrow.com How to Achieve Light Bokeh Light Bokeh is created when light reflects off, or through, a background; and is then captured with a wide open aperture of your lens. As light reflects differently off flat surfaces, you’re not likely to see this effect when using a plain wall, for example. Instead, you’ll see it when your background has a little texture, such as light reflecting off leaves in foliage of a garden, or wet grass… or when light is broken up when streaming through trees. Looking for Light One of the key take-aways for this challenge is to start paying attention to light & how you can capture it in photos… both to add interest and feeling to your portraits, but as a creative subject in it’s own right.

And many people have probably wondered what it would take to capture photos like that with their own cameras. The good news is that astrophotography can be incredibly easy and inexpensive. Even point-and- shoot cameras and cell phones can capture breathtaking skyscapes, as long as you pick appropriate subjects. On the other hand, astrophotography can also be incredibly demanding. Close-ups of tiny, faint nebulae, and galaxies require expensive equipment and lots of time, patience, and skill. Between those extremes, there’s a huge amount that you can do with a digital SLR or a simple webcam. The key to astrophotography is to have realistic expectations, and to pick subjects that are appropriate to your equipment — and vice versa. To help you do that, we’ve collected four articles from the 2010 issue of SkyWatch, Sky & Telescope’s annual magazine. Every issue of SkyWatch includes a how-to guide to astrophotography and visual observing as well as a summary of the year’s best astronomical events. You can order the latest issue at SkyandTelescope.com/skywatch. In the last analysis, astrophotography is an art form. It requires the same skills as regular photography: visualization, planning, framing, experimentation, and a bit of luck.

  • The F-Word in Optics
    The F-word in Optics F-number, was first found for fixing photographic exposure. But F/number is a far more flexible phenomenon for finding facts about optics. Douglas Goodman finds fertile field for fixes for frequent confusion for F/#. The F-word of optics is the F-number,* also known as F/number, F/#, etc. The F- number is not a natural physical quantity, it is not defined and used consistently, and it is often used in ways that are both wrong and confusing. Moreover, there is no need to use the F-number, since what it purports to describe can be specified rigorously and unambiguously with direction cosines. The F-number is usually defined as follows: focal length F-number= [1] entrance pupil diameter A further identification is usually made with ray angle. Referring to Figure 1, a ray from an object at infinity that is parallel to the axis in object space intersects the front principal plane at height Y and presumably leaves the rear principal plane at the same height. If f is the rear focal length, then the angle of the ray in image space θ′' is given by y tan θ'= [2] f In this equation, as in the others here, a sign convention for angles heights and magnifications is not rigorously enforced. Combining these equations gives: 1 F−= number [3] 2tanθ ' For an object not at infinity, by analogy, the F-number is often taken to be the half of the inverse of the tangent of the marginal ray angle. However, Eq. 2 is wrong.
