Abstract
Any motion of the scene during the exposure of a hologram results in a spatial modulation of the recorded fringe contrast. On reconstruction, this produces a spatial amplitude modulation of the reconstructed wavefront, which results in a blurring of the image, not unlike that of a conventional photograph. For motion of the scene sufficient to change the path length of the signal arm by a half wavelength, this blurring is generally prohibitive. This paper describes a proposed holographic technique which offers promise for front light resolution of targets moving at high speeds, heretofore unobtainable by conventional methods.
