Single-shot wavelength-selective quantitative phase microscopy by partial aperture imaging and polarization-phase-division multiplexing

Opt Express. 2020 Nov 9;28(23):34825-34834. doi: 10.1364/OE.410639.

Abstract

We propose a single-shot wavelength-selective quantitative phase microscopy by annular white-light illumination, polarization-phase-division, and parallel phase-shifting. Compared to conventional multi-wavelength incoherence digital holography, the proposed microscopy presents the following merits: no switching of illumination or mechanical scanning, high spatiotemporal phase sensitivity, and single-shot reconstruction at each wavelength. Experiments validate these characteristics by quantitative phase imaging of gratings, cells, and tissues.
