Abstract

The holographic packing density is derived for any plane in a coherently illuminated optical system. The gain in packing density relative to the object plane is given. A two-lens optical system in which a condenser lens provides high packing densities and an imaging lens provides sufficient resolution is superior to a system in which a single lens performs both functions.
