Holographic Imaging of Fluids and Biology

Submersible Holography Laboratory

The following is a list of Submersible Holography Laboratory research projects, present and past.  Click on the links to learn more about each specific project.

Research Projects

This remotely operated submersible is designed to drift with the ambient ocean current while acquiring digital holographic movies of behavior of organisms at varying magnifications. Data are transfered through a fiber optic tether to a 4 TB data acquisition system located on the research vessel.

Free-Drifting Submersible Digital Holographic Imaging System

Holographic Microscopy is used for visualizing swimming behavior of micro-organisms at very small scales such as bacteria and dinoflagellates.  The following link is a PDF version of Dr. Jian Sheng's dissertion describing his work in this area.

Submersible Film Hologrphic Imaging System

An undergraduate in our lab used a laser pointer and a commercially available digital camera to record holograms.  This website demonstrates how digital holography can be performed with readily available, off-the-shelf components.
