Abstract: We investigate the spatio-temporal scanning of a single-pixel row for building up synthetic interferograms or digital holograms, shifted each other of a desired phase step. This unusual recording modality exploits the object movement to synthesize interferograms with extended Field of View and improved noise contrast. We report the theoretical formulation of the synthetizing recording process and experimental evidence of various cases demonstrating quantitative phase retrieval by adopting this intrinsic phase-shifting procedure. The proposed method could be particularly suited in all cases where the object shift is an intrinsic feature of the investigated system, as e.g. in microfluidics imaging.
