Abstract
A method for reconstructing an optical field is developed. It is based on special shaping of the structure of the information on the amplitude and phase pattern of the recording field. The amplitude information is recorded by a standard method, such as photography. The phase information is recorded after visualization on a phase-sensitive material. The field structure is reconstructed by passing a quasimonochromatic space-coherent plane wave through the obtained transparencies. The method was implemented experimentally for phase-modulated fields with the phase information visualized by the Zernike method.
