Abstract

Since its discovery, the “ghost” diffraction phenomenon has emerged as an unconventional technique for optical imaging with very promising advantages. However, extracting the intensity and phase information of a structured and realistic object remains a challenge. Here we show that a ghost hologram can be recorded with a single-pixel configuration by adapting concepts from standard digital holography. The presented homodyne scheme enables phase imaging with nanometric depth resolution and three-dimensional focusing ability and shows a high signal-to-noise ratio.
