A Three-Charge-Coupled-Device Camera Based on Multiplexed Volume Hologram

TL;DR

This paper introduces a three-CCD camera utilizing multiplexed volume holographic gratings to separate and record red, green, and blue images, resulting in higher quality color images compared to single CCD cameras.

Contribution

The paper presents a novel three-CCD camera design based on multiplexed volume holograms, enabling improved color image quality through separate monochromatic channels.

Findings

Reconstructed images show superior quality over single CCD images.

The holographic gratings effectively separate RGB channels.

The system demonstrates potential for high-quality color imaging.

Abstract

We present a three-Charge-Coupled-Device (three-CCD) camera constructed upon multiplexed volume holographic gratings. Three incoherent gratings are written on the same holographic plate to guide the incident light into the three monochromatic channels, where images of red, green and blue light are recorded separately by CCD cameras. The reconstructed chromatic image from the monochromatic images shows superior qualities over the images taken by a single CCD camera.
