X-ray Fourier transform holography by amplitude-division-type Fresnel zone plate interferometer

A two-block X-ray Fresnel zone plate system forms two-beams – a plane wave and a spherical wave – which interfere at the focal distance of the virtual source of the spherical wave. An object placed in the path of the plane wave forms an object wave and the spherical wave is the reference wave. The recorded intensity distribution is the Fourier transform hologram of the object. Analytical and numerical calculations show the possibilities of this scheme to record the hologram and reconstruct the object image. Examples of recording holograms of a one-dimensional cosine-like grating and a two-dimensional grid object as well as reconstruction of the images are considered.
