Abstract
A fractional Fourier-transform digital holographic imaging method with resolution enhancement features is presented. In an optical configuration, an extended fractional Fourier-transform optical setup is set in the object arm of an off-axis digital holographic recording system to record a fractional Fourier-transform hologram via the optical interference of the fractional Fourier-transform wavefront of an object wave with a reference wave. For reconstruction imaging, the reconstruction approach for fractional Fourier-transform holograms is given. In the experiment, the fractional Fourier-transform digital holograms are recorded under the different recording parameters, and their amplitude images are effectively reconstructed. The imaging results demonstrate that the reconstruction-imaging resolution of fractional-order Fourier-transform holograms is obviously enhanced compared to that of conventional image-plane holograms. The presented fractional Fourier-transform digital holographic imaging with resolution enhancement and optical configuration flexibility provides, to our knowledge, a novel way for off-axis digital holographic imaging.
