This manuscript describes the development of a single shot, self-referencing wavefront division, multiplexing digital holographic microscope employing LED sources for large field of view quantitative phase imaging of biological samples. The use of multiple Fresnel biprisms enhances the field of view and increases the signal to noise ratio, enabling hologram multiplexing. The use of low temporally coherent sources reduces speckle noise, cost, and form factor.
In this manuscript, we describe the development of a single shot, self-referencing wavefront division, multiplexing digital holographic microscope employing LED sources for large field of view quantitative phase imaging of biological samples. To address the difficulties arising while performing interferometry with low temporally coherent sources, an optical arrangement utilizing multiple Fresnel Biprisms is used for hologram multiplexing, enhancing the field of view and increasing the signal to noise ratio. Biprisms offers the ease of obtaining interference patterns by automatically matching the path length between the two off-axis beams. The use of low temporally coherent sources reduces the speckle noise and the cost, and the form factor of the setup. The developed technique was implemented using both visible and UV LEDs and tested on polystyrene microspheres and human erythrocytes.
