  • Patent number: 11774288
    Abstract: An interference imaging device includes a light interference generator that includes: a light wave splitter configured to reflect a part of incident light and to allow a remaining part of the incident light to pass through; a phase modulator configured to modulate a phase of incident light that has passed through the light wave splitter; and a reflector configured to reflect the phase-modulated incident light from the phase modulator so that the reflected, phase-modulated incident light overlaps with incident light that has been reflected by the light wave splitter.

  • Publication number: 20180329366
    Abstract: Proposed are an image reproduction device, an image reproduction method, and a digital holography device, by which the calculation load is reduced and a time required to reproduce an object image from hologram image data is shortened, compared with a conventional technology. An image reproduction device (17) can reproduce an object image or a phase image thereof from hologram image data without performing conventional two-dimensional Fourier transform or two-dimensional inverse Fourier transform. Since no two-dimensional Fourier transform or no two-dimensional inverse Fourier transform is performed, the calculation load can be accordingly reduced, and a time required to reproduce an object image from hologram image data can be accordingly shortened, compared with a conventional technology.

  • Patent number: 10006860
    Abstract: Both a hologram and fluorescence are simultaneously captured in a state in which they can be reconstructed separately. A recording device (10) includes: a laser light source (LS1) which irradiates a subject (13) with object illumination light so that object light is generated; and an image capturing device (12) which captures (i) a hologram formed by interference between reference light and object light and (ii) an image of fluorescence, and the object illumination light further excites a fluorescent material (14) contained in the subject (13).

  • Patent number: 8786755
    Abstract: A polarization imaging apparatus includes a laser light source and an image pickup element. Object light and reference light each include a first polarized-light component polarized in a first direction and a second polarized-light component polarized in a second direction that is different from the first direction. The image pickup element simultaneously captures an image of an interference pattern including (i) a first interference figure, (ii) a second interference figure, (iii) a third interference figure, and (iv) a fourth interference figure. The polarization imaging apparatus includes a reconstructing section generating respective reconstructed images of the object in regard to the first and second polarized-light components, from the first to fourth interference figures, and a polarized-light-image-calculating section obtaining polarized-light images from the reconstructed images.
