A computer-implemented method for analyzing digital holographic microscopy (DHM) data for hematology applications includes receiving a DHM image acquired using a digital holographic microscopy system. The DHM image comprises depictions of one or more cell objects and background. A reference image is generated based on the DHM image. This reference image may then be used to reconstruct a fringe pattern in the DHM image into an optical depth map.

A device includes a sensor, a coherent infrared illumination source and optics to direct an infrared reference beam to the sensor. The sensor is positioned to capture an image of an interference signal generated by an interference of the infrared reference beam and a wavelength-shifted exit signal. The wavelength-shifted exit signal propagates through the optics before interfering with the infrared reference beam.

A self-interference digital holographic system obtains interference patterns of incident light using a simple geometric phase lens, and obtains a holographic image of a target object using the interference patterns. The self-interference digital holographic is fabricated simply in a low cost and in a miniaturized size, and the use thereof as actual products is extended to a wide range of applications. The phase of incident light is be changed by rotating a polarizer, independently of a change in the optical path. Phase-shifting effects are obtained with fewer errors in all wavelength ranges, and a more accurate holographic image is produced. A single birefringence hologram is obtained by a one-time image-capturing process by simultaneously forming interference patterns from phase-shifted linearly-polarized beams by space division, using a phase shifter on the basis of space division. Moving holographic images can be captured.

An imaging system includes an infrared illuminator, an ultrasonic emitter, a reference wavefront generator, and an image pixel array. The infrared illuminator emits a general illumination emission into a three-dimensional diffuse medium, where a portion of the general illumination emission encounters a voxel within the diffuse medium. The ultrasonic emitter focuses an ultrasonic signal to the voxel to wavelength-shift the portion of the general illumination emission to generate a shifted infrared imaging signal. The reference wavefront generator generates an infrared reference wavefront having a same wavelength as the shifted infrared imaging signal. The image pixel array captures an infrared image of an interference between the shifted infrared imaging signal and the infrared reference wavefront.
