Microscopy by reconstructed wave-fronts
@article{Gabor1949MicroscopyBR, title={Microscopy by reconstructed wave-fronts}, author={Dennis Gabor}, journal={Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series A. Mathematical and Physical Sciences}, year={1949}, volume={197}, pages={454 - 487} }
The subject of this paper is a new two-step method of optical imagery. In a first step the object is illuminated with a coherent monochromatic wave, and the diffraction pattern resulting from the interference of the coherent secondary wave issuing from the object with the strong, coherent background is recorded on a photographic plate. If the photographic plate, suitably processed, is replaced in the original position and illuminated with the coherent background alone, an image of the object…

The behavior of photographic film, after D. H. Kelly’s three-stage model, is introduced into wavefront reconstruction. A description of the effect on the imagery is described in terms of conventional…
Elimination of the Unwanted Image in Diffraction Microscopy
- PhysicsNature
- 1951
Two suitably separated amplitude patterns will do service for a single pattern giving both amplitude and phase in a coherent beam, opening up the possibility that the confusion due to loss of information about phase in one plane may be cleared up by measuring the amplitude in another plane which is called that of the auxiliary hologram.

Lensless digital holography with diffuse illumination through a pseudo-random phase mask.
- PhysicsOptics express

Compared to standard inline holography the diffuse sample illumination improves the axial sectioning capability by increasing the effective numerical aperture in the illumination path, and it suppresses the undesired so-called twin images.
