DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF INVENTION

[0017] The present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and embodiments, but it should not be used to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0018] As shown in FIG. 2, in one embodiment of single-shot Fresnel non-coherent correlation digital holographic device based on a polarization-oriented planar lens of the present invention, the device comprises an incoherent light source 1, the optical path direction of the incoherent light emitted from the incoherent light source is sequentially equipped with the first focusing element 2, an imaging object 3, a polarization-oriented planar lens 4, the second focusing element 5, a half-wave plate 6 with a small hole, and a polarization imaging camera 7;

[0019] The first achromatic lens with a focal length of 75 mm collimates the incoherent light emitted from a non-coherent light source, central wavelength of 530 nm and bandwidth of 30 nm, as parallel light through the imaging object 1951USAF resolution test target. Then it enters the polarization-oriented planar lens with a focal length of 100 mm, and obtains the converged the first left-handed circularly polarized light and the diverging first right-handed circularly polarized light, respectively. The first left-handed circularly polarized light and the first right-handed circularly polarized light pass through the second achromatic lens with a focal length of 100 mm to obtain converged the second left-handed circularly polarized light and the second right-handed circularly polarized light, wherein the polarization-oriented planar lens and the second achromatic lens are separated by 0 mm. The second left-handed circularly polarized light whose focus is exactly through the half-wave plate with a small hole and does not change the rotation direction and obtains the third left-handed circularly polarized light. The half-waveplate with a small hole changes the direction of the incident the second right-hand circularly polarized light to obtain the fourth left-hand circularly polarized light. The center wavelength of the half-wave plate with a small hole is 530 nm, and the diameter of the center hole is 1 mm. The overlapping interference of the third left-handed circularly polarized light and the fourth left-handed circularly polarized light in the polarization camera can simultaneously collect interferograms with object information of different phase values. Its numerical reproduction in a computer using the phase shift method can recover the information of the original object, as shown in FIGS. 3A to 3H. Thus, a single-shot Fresnel non-coherent correlation digital holographic device based on a polarization-oriented planar lens is realized.

[0020] The holographic device of the present invention performs wavefront modulation and beam splitting by using the characteristics of the polarization-oriented planar lens (1) sensitive to circularly polarized light, implements single-shot measurement of an imaging object by using a micro-polarization array in the polarization imaging camera (4), and has the advantages of being compact in structure, economical and practical, convenient to construct and easy to modulate.
