Hard X-Ray Off-Axis Fresnel Holography using Two-Block Fresnel Zone Plate Interferometer

An experimental set-up for hard X-ray off-axis Fresnel holography, based on a two-block Fresnel zone plates interferometer is proposed and analyzed. It is shown, that the suggested scheme provides a recording of the hologram and further numerical reconstruction of the image. The advantage of this scheme, compared with the earlier presented analogous scheme of on-axis holography, based on the three-block Fresnel zone plate interferometer is shown using numerical simulation.
