Abstract
In a conventional hologram, a photographic film records the interference pattern of monochromatic light, scattered from an object (20) to be imaged, with a reference beam of unscattered light. Illumination of the developed film with a replica of the reference beam then creates a virtual image of the original object. Molecular resonance may be used to record an interference pattern between light signals that arrive at different times, and with this technique create a hologram (10') with time resolution. Using a time reference pulse (16) as a 'light shutter', holographic images may be recorded selectively, according to the time taken by light travelling from the object to the hologram. This method may be used to image an object obscured by a light-scattering medium.
