We present results of imaging experiments using digital interference holography (DIH).
Calibration experiments using a resolution target demonstrate an improvement of
signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) with increasing number of holograms consistent with theoretical
prediction. Imaging experiments on retinal tissue reveal the topography of blood vessels as
well as the optical thickness profile of the retinal layer. The SNR of tissue images is
comparable to that of the resolution target, implying that the imaging system is operating close
to theoretical optimum.
