Extended field of view soft x-ray Fourier transform holography: toward imaging ultrafast evolution in a single shot

Opt Lett. 2007 Nov 1;32(21):3110-2. doi: 10.1364/ol.32.003110.

Abstract

Panoramic full-field imaging is demonstrated by applying spatial multiplexing to Fourier transform holography. Multiple object and reference waves extend the effective field of view for lensless imaging without compromising the spatial resolution. In this way, local regions of interest distributed throughout a sample can be simultaneously imaged with high spatial resolution. A method is proposed for capturing multiple ultrafast images of a sample with a single x-ray pulse.
