Abstract
Wireless data transmission systems such as WiFi or Bluetooth emit coherent light - electromagnetic waves with precisely known amplitude and phase. Propagating in space, this radiation forms a hologram - a two-dimensional wavefront encoding a three-dimensional view of all objects traversed by the light beam. Here we demonstrate a scheme to record this hologram in a phase-coherent fashion across a meter-sized imaging region. We recover three-dimensional views of objects and emitters by feeding the resulting data into digital reconstruction algorithms. Employing a digital implementation of dark field propagation to suppress multipath reflection we significantly enhance the quality of the resulting images.
