In the recent years, there has been a paradigm shift towards developing new imaging modalities based on the fundamental concepts of optical coherence and holography. Most prominently, the use of optical coherence tomography (low coherent sources) has had an immense impact on medical science by detecting single cells in living retinal tissue. While the fundamentals in optical holography is focused on recording, reconstruction, digital computation, and image processing tools based on modern imaging sensors that have high spatial bandwidth, low imaging noise and low cost, the eventual outcome is to achieve high lateral, axial resolution with rapid acquisition. The challenges in holographic technologies has been on the bottleneck of signal to noise ratio, field of view versus resolution and reconstruction speed etc.
In this special issue, we hope to focus on the recent developments in the area of holographic/low-coherence imaging technologies.
