Fast acquisition system for digital holograms and image processing for three-dimensional display with data manipulation.

A three-dimensional (3D) digital holographic display system with image processing is presented. By use of phase-shifting digital holography, we obtain the complex amplitude of a 3D object at a recording plane. Image processing techniques are introduced to improve the quality of the reconstructed 3D object or manipulate 3D objects for elimination and addition of information by modifying the complex amplitude. The results show that the information processing is effective in such manipulations of 3D objects. We also show a fast recording system of 3D objects based on phase-shifting digital holography for display with image processing. The acquisition of 3D object information at 500 Hz is demonstrated experimentally.

Reflection-type holographic disk memory with random phase shift multiplexing.

A reflection-type holographic disk memory system with random phase shift multiplexing is proposed. The experimental results show that a binary data page of 18x17 bits is recorded successfully at intervals of 4 mum in a Fe:LiNbO3 crystal with a thickness of 0.5 mm when six data pages are superimposed. Numerical results show that random phase modulation can improve the shift selectivity in shift multiplexing recording as well as in data security. Experimental and numerical results show that reflection-type holographic disk memory has a high potential for terabyte storage capacity as in transmission-type memory.

Image reconstruction for thin observation module by bound optics by using the iterative backprojection method.

A method for reconstructing high-spatial-resolution images in an imaging system known as thin observation module by bound optics (TOMBO) is reported. We investigate a novel procedure combining a pixel-rearrangement method and iterative backprojection (IBP). Pixel rearrangement has been used until now in TOMBO, and IBP is a digital superresolution technique. We verify the effectiveness of the combined procedure with simulated and experimental results.
