Eliminating the Influence of the Perturbed Reference Wave in Electron Holography

Abstract

A method is developed to eliminate the influence of the perturbed reference wave when long-range electromagnetic fields are investigated by electron holography. Based on phase relationships between the reference wave and the object wave, with digital reconstruction and data processing, we can extract the phase of an object wave from the phase difference between the object wave and the perturbed wave, which is always obtained in normal reconstruction. An example of one-dimension electromagnetic fields is given to verify this method.
