Dynamic 3D Fresnel incoherent correlation holography imaging based on single-shot mirrored phase-shifting technology

Fresnel incoherent correlation holography (FINCH) records coaxial holograms for wide-field 3D imaging with incoherent light, but its temporal phase-shifting strategy makes dynamic imaging challenging. Here, we present a compact, portable single-shot mirrored phase-shifting (SSPMS) module that can be easily integrated into the FINCH system, achieving secondary modulation of self-interference beams to enable the simultaneous acquisition of four phase-shift holograms in a single exposure. Compared with previously reported methods that use diffraction gratings to spatially separate self-interference beams at specific angles, this module duplicates a laterally shifted mirrored beam using a simply modified Michelson interferometer, so the phase-shifting holograms obtained via this module are free from optical aberrations or higher-order diffracted light noises. The feasibility of the proposed method is experimentally demonstrated through imaging dynamic 3D grayscale scenes.
