TL;DR
This paper investigates how the signal and noise in digital holography images scale with various acquisition and reconstruction parameters, using experiments and Monte Carlo simulations to confirm shot-noise as the primary noise source.
Contribution
It provides a detailed experimental analysis and simulation validation of signal and noise scaling in digital holography, highlighting shot-noise dominance.
Findings
Reconstructed signal scales with acquisition parameters.
Noise is confirmed to be shot-noise through simulations.
Guidelines for optimizing holography parameters are suggested.
Abstract
An experimental study on how reconstructed image signal and noise scale with acquisition and reconstruction parameters is proposed. Monte-carlo simulation is performed to emphasize that the measured noise is shot-noise.
