Abstract

We show experimentally that the recently proposed iterative shadowgraphic method can be applied to in-line digital holography, provided a suitable regularization step is introduced. We show that the method correctly solves the “twin-image” problem using just two samples of the intensity field scattered by a phase object. Field retrieval accuracy is significantly improved when compared to a reconstruction obtained with the defocusing variation algorithms.
