Fresnel diffractive imaging: Experimental study of coherence and curvature
A Fresnel Coherent Diffractive Imaging experiment is performed using a pinhole as a test object. The experimental parameters of beam curvature and coherence length of the illuminating radiation are varied to investigate their effects on the reconstruction process. It is found that a sufficient amount of curvature across the sample strongly ameliorates the effects of low coherence, even when the sample size exceeds the coherence length. © 2008 The American Physical Society.
