    Area of Science:

    • Optics and Photonics
    • Remote Sensing

    Background:

    • Holography enables 3D image reconstruction.
    • Long-distance imaging presents challenges due to atmospheric interference and detector limitations.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To demonstrate the feasibility of long-range holographic experiments.
    • To assess image quality and identify practical limitations in extended-distance holography.

    Main Methods:

    • Conducted holographic experiments over distances up to 12 km.
    • Utilized a Q-switched ruby laser for illumination.
    • Employed a retroreflector for the reference wave and captured images of retroreflector and Scotchlite targets.

    Main Results:

    • Successfully obtained holograms and images at 12 km.
    • Achieved resolutions between 3 arcseconds and 0.5 arcseconds, dependent on atmospheric seeing.
    • Encountered detector saturation due to the limited dynamic range of photographic film.

    Conclusions:

    • Long-range holography is achievable over significant distances.
    • Atmospheric conditions are a critical factor affecting resolution.
    • Detector dynamic range limitations require further investigation for practical long-distance holographic applications.
