Incoherent optical imaging using synthetic aperture with fresnel elements

Barak Katz, Joseph Rosen

We present a new lensless incoherent holographic system operating in a synthetic aperture mode. Spatial resolution exceeding the Rayleigh limit of the system is obtained by digital tiling several Fresnel holographic elements into a complete Fresnel hologram of the observed object. Each element is acquired by the limited-aperture system from different point of view. This method is demonstrated experimentally by combining three holographic elements recorded from white light illumination which is emitted from a binary grating.
