When confocal lenses are applied to a digital holography system, the interference pattern of a larger object size can be recorded on CCD. The angle of incoming light to the CCD can be reduced by the ratio of the two focal lengths of confocal lenses. The recordable spatial frequency is limited by the unit cell size of the CCD. Therefore the spatial frequency of interference on the CCD is lowered by reduction of the incoming light angle. By using confocal lenses , another merit can be achieved that the area of the zero order diffraction is reduced by the square of the ratio of two focal lengths at the numerical reconstruction.
