Panoramic holographic imagery with photorefractive amplification of sub pixel threats

An optical detection system comprising:

• a reflector that reflects scenery light containing an object of interest;
• a laser generator that generates a laser beam;
• a hologram having a marker corresponding to the object of interest, wherein the laser beam is configured to be transmitted through the hologram;
• a photorefractive plate at a Fourier plane, wherein the photorefractive plate receives the laser beam and the scenery light, and the photorefractive plate is configured to amplify portions of the laser beam and the scenery light corresponding to the object of interest;
• wherein the laser beam records the hologram of a Fourier transform at the Fourier plane, wherein the Fourier transform is formed directly or indirectly by optically transforming an image of the object of interest;
• an image focal plane having a coarse first resolution, wherein the image focal plane has pixels that illuminate as hotspots corresponding with the object of interest;
• a processor to process illuminated hotspots;
• and
• at least one imager having a fine second resolution within a group of a plurality of imagers, wherein the at least one imager is cued in response to the processor identifying a hotspot in the image focal plane that is indicative of the object of interest.
