Roadmap of incoherent digital holography

Abstract

This roadmap article focuses on spatially incoherent digital holography (IDH). Representative IDH methods such as optical scanning holography (OSH), Fresnel incoherent correlation holography (FINCH), coded aperture correlation holography (COACH), IDH with a Fresnel zone aperture, and IDH with an interferometer along with a state-of-the-art optical device are introduced as modern IDH methods. We describe these IDH techniques with applications of three-dimensional (3D) imagers, 3D thermography, and 3D microscopy.
