Review on imaging and sensing with holography

Abstract

We review holography techniques related to imaging and sensing. Holography has been actively researched as three-dimensional (3D) imaging and 3D display techniques. Because of the successive evolutions of electronic and optical devices, digital holographic and quantitative 3D measurements with high accuracy and realistic 3D motion-picture image display without glasses have been realized. Moreover, holography has led to breakthroughs in various applications in the fields of measurement and processing through the development of holographic light-wave modulation techniques. We briefly introduce various applications of holography and then review imaging and sensing techniques with holography, focusing on quantitative phase imaging with daily-use light, spatially incoherent digital holography, holographic display, and microscopy with holographic light modulation.
