Abstract

A single-shot procedure to reduce speckle noise in numerically computed complex-valued wavefields is presented. The method is supported by the possibility of numerically producing multiple speckle realizations of a calculated complex-valued wavefield to reduce the speckle noise through a noncoherent superposition of the produced realizations. Although the method is applied to digital holographic microscopy, it could be utilized in other techniques where a numerical representation of the complex-valued wavefield of interest can be obtained. Experimental results with nonbiological and biological samples are presented to support the feasibility of the method.
