A new method for continuous recording of holographic information, "streak holography," is proposed. This kind of record can be useful for velocity and acceleration measurement as well as for observing a moving object whose trajectory cannot be predicted in advance. A very high speed camera system has been designed and constructed for streak holography. A ring-shaped 100-mm-diam film has been cut out from the high-resolution sheet film and mounted on a thin duralmin disk, which has been driven to rotate directly by an air-turbine spindle. Attainable streak velocity is 0.3 mm/μs. A direct film drive mechanism makes it possible to use a relay lens system of extremely small F number. The feasibility of the camera system has been demonstrated by observing several transient events, such as the forced oscillation of a wire and the free fall of small glass particles, using an argon-ion laser as a light source.
