Doppler holography

Ultrafast digital holography for quantitative microvascular imaging

Let’s build your Doppler holography imaging device—together.

From concept to clinical-grade deployment, we support you end-to-end: hardware reference designs, high-throughput open-source software, and automated analysis workflows that turn raw holograms into standardized, beat-resolved biomarkers—ready for multicenter studies and real-world clinical use.

Hardware

Reference designs & build guidelines

We publish practical, field-tested design guidelines for ultrafast Doppler holography instruments: optical layouts, alignment procedures, safety-minded illumination strategies, and the full bill of materials for a reference clinical implementation.

Our goal is simple: reduce the barrier to entry so that a qualified engineering team can assemble, align, and operate a robust device that survives day-to-day use—without vendor lock-in.

Start here: instrument design slides, and the reference parts list.

Our hardware work also supports adjacent coherent-light modalities, including holographic optical coherence tomography, microscopy, plethysmography, and vibrometry.

Software

Real-time reconstruction & quantitative analysis

We build and maintain the open-source software stack that makes Doppler holography scalable: Holovibes for real-time, low-latency rendering at ultra-high throughput, HoloDoppler for streamlined reconstruction/processing, and EyeFlow for automated quantitative retinal blood-flow metrics.

The stack is designed for: operator-independent pipelines, built-in quality control, versioned outputs, and clear audit trails—so results remain comparable across devices, sites, and time.

For cohort-scale operations, we also develop workflow tooling (ingestion, batch processing, reporting, and structured exports) to move from “nice videos” to trial-ready endpoints. Explore our GitHub repositories.

Support

Join the Digital Holography Foundation

The Digital Holography Foundation is a place to learn, build, and share state-of-the-art open tools for computational imaging based on coherent light detection. We help labs, hospitals, and companies move fast while staying reproducible: device co-design, GPU computing, real-time rendering, and robust signal processing.

We also train students and engineers for a practical mission: building reliable, high-throughput imaging software (GPU pipelines, streaming cameras, structured data formats, automation & QC) that can operate in real-world research and clinical environments.

Our core offering: Digital holography support

Our primary value proposition is comprehensive, hands-on support for digital holography systems—especially ultrafast Doppler holography for functional vascular imaging. The Digital Holography Foundation accelerates adoption through open reference hardware, open software, and standardized workflows for high-bitrate acquisition and analysis.

The outcome: a clear path from photons → holograms → quantitative metrics → clinical reports and cohort analytics.
