Lecture 39 Spatial Coherence and Holography Honors talks this evening….
Spatial Coherence
Transverse Modes The 00 mode is the smallest….
Modes and phases Only the TEM 00 mode is fully spatial coherent
Spatial Coherence II Any spatial mode can be described as a linear combination of the various transverse modes
Spatial Mode Filtering Slit only wide enough to allow 00 mode To propagate….
Speckle
Wavefront correction
Simple Photography uses only amplitude Picture looks ‘flat’. Reason is, we have lost information (i.e. phase)
Two beam interference
Holography
Virtual Image Reconstruct 3D view with the phase
Zone Plates revisited 2D Fourier transform Equals a small spot
Phase contrast imaging 3D view of red blood cell…
