Dual-wavelength holography has a better axial range than single-wavelength holography, allowing unambiguous phase imaging. Partial coherence sources reduce coherent noise, resulting in improved reconstructed images. We measured a ball-grid array using dual-wavelength holography with partial coherence sources. This holography method is useful for measurement samples that exhibit coherence noise and have a step height larger than the single wavelength used in holography.

Dual-wavelength holography has better axial range than single-wavelength holography, allowing unambiguous phase imaging but at the expense of increased noise. We have studied error reduction in dual wavelength holography using a modified fine map. The fine map is successful in measurement and has shown error reduction when the height of the object is less than the appled wavelength, but is unstable when the step height is larger than that wavelength. We have modified the fine map and we have found that the modified fine map was successful in measurement and error reduction even though the height of object was larger than the wavelength.

Dual-wavelength holography has a better axial range than single-wavelength holography, allowing unambiguous phase imaging. The size of a reconstructed image depends on the reconstruction distance and wavelength. The two phase image sizes of different wavelength holograms should be the same in order to apply dual-wavelength holography. The Fresnel-Bluestein transform method is proposed to eliminate the dependence on the reconstruction distance and wavelength. We found that the Fresnel-Bluestein transform is very useful for making different reconstructed image sizes experimentally. Also we applied the Fresnel-Bluestein transform to make the same reconstruction image size in dual wavelength holography.

Digital holographic microscopy allows optical path difference measurement. Optical path difference depends on the both refractive index and morphology of sample. We developed a dual-wavelength in-line digital holographic microscope that can measure simultaneously the refractive index and morphology of a sample, providing highly precise three-dimensional information. Here we propose theoretical and experimental methods for dual-wavelength in-line digital holographic microscopy. The measured data were reasonable, although there was data error. By improving the experimental method, we could measure the refractive index more precisely and obtain more accurate three-dimensional information on samples.

In this paper, a method is proposed for simultaneously measuring the front and back surface profiles of transparent micro-optical components. The proposed method combines a dual-wavelength digital holographic microscope with liquids to record holograms at different wavelengths, and then numerically reconstructs the three-dimensional phase information to image the front and back sides of the sample. A theoretical model is proposed to determine the surface information, and imaging of an achromatic lens is demonstrated experimentally. Unlike conventional interferometry, our proposed method supports nondestructive measurement and direct observation of both front and back profiles of micro-optical elements.
