Abstract
The holographic transform H is thought of as the sesquilinear mapping which assigns to the elements of the tensor product vector space L2(R) @ L2(R) the matrix coefficient function of the linear Schrodinger representation of the three-dimensional real Heisenberg nil-potent Lie group. - It is the purpose of the present paper to study the quantum mechanical approach to optical holography including optical phase conjugation, electron holography, and computerized tomographic methods in high resolution imaging radar, for instance synthetic-aperture imaging radar like side-looking airborne SAR, and space shuttle SAR. The aspect common to these techniques is the geometric encoding of the two-wave mixing u @ v by the interference pattern H(u,v;.,.) in the holographic plane R @ R performed simultaneously for the amplitude and the phase by the holographic transform H.
