A method and systems for simultaneous recording of superimposed holographic gratings for augmented reality devices are provided. The method includes: generating a beam by a single light source, directing the beam to a decoherence unit at a predetermined angle, forming at least two recording beams by the decoherence unit by splitting the beam, forming at least two recording channels in the decoherence unit to transmit the at least two recording beams and output them from the decoherence unit, output angles of each of the at least two recording beams being different, the at least two recording beams being non-interfering when leaving the decoherence unit, which is provided in accordance with at least one of: output times, spatial positions, polarization states, or spectral compositions of each of the at least two recording beams, illuminating a recording material layer and one master diffractive optical element/master holographic optical element (master DOE/HOE) comprising at least one preliminary formed diffraction/holographic grating by the at least two non-interfering recording beams, simultaneously forming at least two superimposed holographic gratings from the master DOE/HOE on or in the recording material layer, the formed superimposed holographic gratings having a same surface period, but a different spatial period.

The invention relates to a free-beam interferometric method for illuminating a sequence of sectional areas in the interior of the light-scattering object. The method makes it possible for the user to select a larger image field and/or a higher image resolution than previously possible with the occurrence of self-interference of the specimen light from a scattering specimen.

The layered generation of at least one volume grating in a recording medium by way of exposure, the recording medium having at least one photosensitive layer which is sensitized for a presettable wavelength of the exposure light. Each volume grating is generated in the recording medium by at least two wave fronts of coherent light capable of generating interference, the wave fronts being superposed in the recording medium at a presettable depth, at a presettable angle and with a presettable interference contrast. The depth and the thickness of the refractive index modulation and/or transparency modulation of a volume grating in the recording medium is controlled by depth-specific control of the spatial and/or temporal degree of coherence of the interfering wave fronts in the direction of light propagation.

An interferometric system and a method of measurement of refractive index spatial distribution for use in digital holographic microscopy to observe samples in reflected as well as transmitted radiation or to observe luminescent samples comprises a first branch and a second branch with a plurality of optical elements. The first branch comprises a diffraction grating located in a plane optically conjugated with the object plane in order to create an achromatic hologram with spatial carrier frequency in the output image plane.

A method of analyzing a sample receiving a particle of interest, including: defining a reference point located on a first interface of the sample, or at a known distance from the sample, along the optical axis of the optical system; acquiring a reference image transmission of the sample, the object plane of the optical system being located at a known distance from the reference point along an axis parallel to the optical axis of the optical system, and the particle of interest being located outside of the object plane; using the reference image, digitally constructing a series of reconstructed images, each associated with a predetermined offset of the object plane along the optical axis of the optical system; and using the series of reconstructed images, determining the distance along an axis parallel to the optical axis of the optical system, between the particle of interest and the reference point.
