Abstract

The correlation holography reconstructs 3D objects as a distribution of two-point correlation of the random field detected by two dimensional detector arrays. Here, we describe a hybrid method, a combination of optical and computational channels, to reconstruct the objects from only a single pixel detector. An experimental arrangement is proposed and as a first step to realize the technique, we have simulated the experimental model for both scalar and vectorial objects. Proposed technique affords background free imaging with 3D capability.
