Abstract
A compact and cost-effective lens-in-lens common-path interferometer for quantitative phase imaging of objects in white light as well as in narrow spectral bands is proposed. The optical system of the interferometer includes three lenses. The first component of the interferometer consists of two lenses with the same focal length, but different diameters. The lens with the smaller diameter is installed inside the hole in the bigger diameter lens. The light wave is thus divided into two beams. The second component is a single lens. A pinhole is placed between the first and the second components in their joint focal plane. The pinhole serves as a spatial filter to form a reference wavefront from one of the beams passed through the first component. The reference and the object beams are collected by the second component, and the digital holographic pattern resulting from their interference is registered by the camera. The performance of the system is demonstrated by quantitative phase imaging of red blood cells, onion cells and nylon fiber with use of green and red laser light sources.
