Extraction of depth moments by exploiting the partial coherence of radiation

Optics 2016-06-22 v2

Abstract

We retrieve depth information (moments) of an object using partially coherent fields and defocus induced holographic contrast. Our analysis leads to a form of tomography that does not require sample or source rotation. The tomography method presented here is performed with only two in-line images.
