Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2007022406A2] An method and system for improved holographic imaging system may comprise a source, one or more imaging system components, a beamsplitter, a spatial filter and a beam combiner. The source may be operable to produce a first beam of electromagnetic energy, and the one or more imaging system components may be operable to cause at least a portion of the first beam to interact with a target. The beamsplitter may be operable to separate the portion of the first beam interacting with the target into a reference beam and a target beam after the first beam has interacted with the target. The spatial filter may be operable to extract zero order image information from the reference beam and transmit the zero order image information as a zero order beam. The beam combiner may be operable to combine the zero order beam with the target beam to create a holographic image.
