Holographic Doppler imaging of rotating objects.

The Doppler frequency shift of coherent light reflected from rotating objects is used to obtain one-dimensional resolution much greater than the classical limit for aperture limited imaging systems. The Doppler information is processed by using the temporal and spatial filtering properties of modulated-referencewave holograms. The holographic reconstruction is a superresolved image. Resolution improvements greater than 200 times the classical limit were obtained at good signal-to-noise ratios.
