Abstract
We present a simple and effective compensation method for the off-axis tilt in common-path digital holographic microscopy (CPDHM) by introducing a rotating operation on the hologram. The proposed method mainly requires a digital reference hologram (DRH), which is a rotated version of the original one; it is assumed to be easy to obtain by rotating the specimen’s hologram 180°. In this way, the off-axis tilt could be removed by subtracting the retrieved phase of DRH from the retrieved phase of the original hologram, but without any complex spectrum centering judgment, fitting procedures, or prior knowledge of the system. This highly automatic and efficient performance makes our approach available for real-time quantitative phase imaging (QPI), although it limits the field of view (FOV) of the specimen. Some experimental results of microlens array and phase plate demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed method.
