Some features of information theory application to holographic systems

Abstract

Two important features make a holographic system more substantial than an ordinary optical system: ability of phase information transmission (on a level with amplitude one) and ability of the separable overlapping of wavefronts from different objects. However, holographic signal is more complicated than that transmitted by ordinary optical devices. Due to this the statements of information theory require some modifications in a higher degree for holographic systems than for optical ones in order to provide the information transmission description.
