Abstract

A method is proposed for designing apodized apertures with a transmission profile which follows a curve defined using a cubic spline interpolation. The method is applied in digital holographic microscopy to perform digitally the apodization of the aperture of holograms recorded by a CCD camera. The transmission of the apodized aperture is entirely defined by four parameters which are adjusted iteratively to minimize intensity and phase fluctuations appearing in the images obtained by numerical reconstruction of the holograms. The performances of the method have been studied in the absence of experimental sources of noise using a computer generated hologram with which we demonstrate that the aperture apodization reduces the standard deviation of the reconstructed phase distribution from 1.6 nm to 0.15 nm.

Diaphragm (optics)

In optics, a diaphragm is a thin opaque structure with an opening (aperture) at its center. The role of the diaphragm is to stop the passage of light, except for the light passing through the aperture. Thus it is also called a stop (an aperture stop, if it limits the brightness of light reaching the focal plane, or a field stop or flare stop for other uses of diaphragms in lenses). The diaphragm is placed in the light path of a lens or objective, and the size of the aperture regulates the amount of light that passes through the lens.

Cubic Hermite spline

In numerical analysis, a cubic Hermite spline or cubic Hermite interpolator is a spline where each piece is a third-degree polynomial specified in Hermite form, that is, by its values and first derivatives at the end points of the corresponding domain interval. Cubic Hermite splines are typically used for interpolation of numeric data specified at given argument values , to obtain a continuous function. The data should consist of the desired function value and derivative at each .

Bicubic interpolation

In mathematics, bicubic interpolation is an extension of cubic spline interpolation (a method of applying cubic interpolation to a data set) for interpolating data points on a two-dimensional regular grid. The interpolated surface (meaning the kernel shape, not the image) is smoother than corresponding surfaces obtained by bilinear interpolation or nearest-neighbor interpolation. Bicubic interpolation can be accomplished using either Lagrange polynomials, cubic splines, or cubic convolution algorithm.
