In fields such as virtual/augmented reality, robotic vision, facial recognition, and biomedical imaging, the demand for accurate, fast coherent 3D surface imaging technology is increasing. However, current technologies like FMCW LiDAR have limitations in terms of low spectral bandwidth efficiency and high cost. We demonstrate a novel approach using synthetic wavelength phase unwrapping and line-scan off-axis holography. Our system achieved fast 3D surface imaging with a non-ambiguous depth range of 22.3mm. We validated system performance using a 3D-printed test target and a U.S. copper penny.
