Abstract
We propose the method that suppresses the defocus noise optically in the Fresnel incoherent correlation holographic system using a pinhole-polarizer (PP), which is made by punching a pinhole on the linear polarizer. The system configuration of this suggestion is based on the original system with optical-sectioning capability, which is realized by presenting the phase-pinhole on the phase-only spatial light modulator. In our system, the phase-pinhole is replaced with a PP. The replaced component is no longer programmable yet provides an affordable, simple, and light-efficient system configuration. The feasibility of the system with the PP is analyzed and demonstrated.
