Dual-wavelength digital holography with a low-coherence light source based on a quantum dot film.

This Letter proposes a dual-wavelength, low-coherence digital holography system with a single light source, which utilizes a quantum dot (QD) film as a wavelength converter. By changing the size of the QDs, the proposed method easily yields higher and more uniform illumination of any target wavelength, compared with bandpass-filtered light-emitting diodes. Fabrication parameters of the QD film for better conversion efficiency are discussed. Using this light source with the dual-wavelength reconstruction method extends the efficiency and range of nanoscale three-dimensional height measurements. (C) 2017 Optical Society of America
