Abstract

In this paper, we discuss the quality of holograms based on the calculation of the modulation depth. It’s shown that the terahertz (THz) pulsed vortex beams play a vital role in holography filed, where two lasers with frequency difference have used. The THz vortex beams give new regions of larger frequency detuning and an important value of the modulation depth and fringe contrast (MDFC ratio) for obtaining the best holograms contrary to the Gaussian beams for which the best holograms are realized for small frequency detuning. The particular cases such as, Gaussian beam and single cycle pulses are deduced from our result. Numerical simulations are also presented to study the dependence of the MDFC ratio on the frequency detuning for THz vortex beams and Gaussian beams. This research could be beneficial in holographic interferometry, and it will firmly establish as a tool for scientific and engineering studies.
