Conventional digital holography uses the technique of combining two coherent light fields and the numerical reconstruction of the recorded hologram leads to the object amplitude and phase information. In spite of significant developments on the DH with coherent light, complex field imaging with arbitrary coherent source is also desired for various reasons. Here, we present a possible experimental approach for holography with the incoherent light. In case of incoherent light, the complex spatial coherence function is the measurable quantity and the incoherent object holograms are recorded as the coherence function. Thus, to record complex spatial coherence a square Sagnac radial shearing interferometer is designed with the phase-shifting approach. The five phase-shifting method helps to measure the fringe visibility and the corresponding phase, which jointly represents the complex coherence function. The back propagation of complex coherence function helps to retrieve the object information.

Polarization has a profound impact on image quality, visual perception and completer wave front imaging. For instance, polarization provides a new perspective on seeing an object which is otherwise obscured, low contrast or not measurable by conventional imaging methods. In this paper, we discuss a possible extension of the digital holography (DH) to the polarization domain, and the technique is referred to as digital polarization holography (DPH). Basic principle of DPH is described and some of our recent contributions on quantitative polarization imaging are covered. . We also discuss and highlight potential of combining speckle field illumination with DPH for high-resolution polarization imaging. |

Management of medical fear and pain is a complex mission in children. Holographic technology provides an innovative distraction approach. To our knowledge, holograms have not been used in hospitals before. The aim was to deliver holographic characters as a new digital pain and stress reducing tool in medicine. Methods The study was performed at Tartu University Children's Hospital during 2020-2021. 62 children aged 10 months to 11 years (5.31 yrs; SD=2.63) underwent painful procedures: intravenous cannulations, blood tests. The hospital pain was examined via parents’ questionnaires and children's pain scores by FLACC/VAS before and after viewing holograms, assessed by nurses. 33 playful holographic characters with HYPERVSN 3D devices were presented with music. Holograms were shown for 3-10 minutes depending on the procedure. Results We found that the use of holographic techniques (HT) was effective: before viewing holograms 7% of children had severe, 64% moderate, 22% mild and 7% no distress. After viewing holograms, positive effect was reported: 50% of children were stress-free, 43% had mild, 7% moderate and no children with severe discomfort. Increased cooperation in Botox and blood pressure procedures. HT was effective in all age groups, including babies; parents reported calming effects of holograms on themselves, confirming the suitability of HT for adults. Conclusions Holograms are the new tools to prepare and guide patients during painful procedures. Holograms also improved children's’ emotional state and pain control. We encourage technicians to create and develop new 3D solutions based on HT to improve healthcare services. |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Optical imaging has been well-known in nature and in technology for decades. Recently, new methods of optical imaging assisted by techniques of computational imaging have been proposed and demonstrated. In the presentation, we describe several new techniques of three-dimensional optical imaging, from Fresnel Incoherent Correlation Holography (FINCH) to interferenceless Coded Aperture Correlation Holography (COACH). These systems have different imaging performances than conventional techniques. FINCH and COACH are methods for recording digital holograms of a three-dimensional scene. However, COACH can be used for several other incoherent and coherent optical applications. In this talk, we survey the prime landmarks on the topics of FINCH and COACH from two major perspectives: architectures and applications of the various systems. We explore the main configurations of hologram recorders in FINCH and COACH systems. For each design, we describe some of the recent implementations of these recorders in optical imaging. Possible applications for these imaging methods, ranging from a new generation of fluorescent microscopes to methods of noninvasive imaging through a scattering medium, will be discussed |

Imaging based problem solving approaches have shown an illustrative way of solving problems for various scientific applications, for several decades. With an increased demand for automation, such approaches have shown exponential growth in recent years. In this context, deep learning-based “learned” solutions are widely opted for many applications thus slowly becoming an inevitable alternative tool. It is known that in contrast to the conventional “physics-based” approach, deep learning models are known to be a “data-driven” approach where the outcomes are based on data analysis and interpretation. Thus, the deep learning approaches have applied for several (optical and computational) imaging based scientific problems such as denoising, phase retrieval, hologram reconstruction and histopathology, to name a few. In this talk, I will briefly discuss the role of deep learning networks for imaging-based problem solving applications and will provide the future direction for those approaches. |
