Phase Imaging - What?

Transparent objects
(phase objects)
modulate only the
phase of light

Square law detectors
do not detect phase
modulations

Convert phase
modulations into
“detectable” intensity
modulations

Phase imaging - How?
Convert phase modulations
into “detectable” intensity
modulations.
