Optical Imaging Using Coded Aperture Correlation Holography (COACH) with PSF of Spatial-Structured Longitudinal Light Beams—A Study Review
Joseph Rosen, Vijayakumar Anand
Abstract
Spatial-structured longitudinal light beams are optical fields sculpted in three-dimensional (3D) space by diffractive optical elements. These beams have been recently suggested for use in improving several imaging capabilities, such as 3D imaging, enhancing image resolution, engineering the depth of field, and sectioning 3D scenes. All these imaging tasks are performed using coded aperture correlation holography systems. Each system designed for a specific application is characterized by a point spread function of a different spatial-structured longitudinal light beam. This article reviews the topic of applying certain structured light beams for optical imaging.
