Abstract
Optical scanning holography requires interference optics, which separates a laser beam into two paths and recombines the two path beams after being modulated spatially and temporarily. This requires high accuracy and stability of the apparatus with a highly coherent light source. In this Letter, we propose a coaxial scanning holography (CSH) capable of realizing scanning holography with high stability and low complexity by forming a scanning beam in a single optical path using a geometrical phase shift. An experimental verification of the CSH by optical acquisition and subsequent reconstruction of the hologram is reported.
