Synthetic optical holography for in-depth imaging of optical vortices in speckle patterns

In this paper, we report a novel approach based on a lensless Synthetic Optical Holography (SOH) that is aimed to recover the complex scattered field from buried surfaces at different wavelengths with sub-nanometric spectral resolution, without affecting the phase retrieval in depth. The proposed te...
