Claim:
1. A method of generating a hologram of an object using a holographic apparatus having a physical aperture, the method comprising: receiving data including a plurality of holographic data respectively corresponding to a plurality of sub-holograms acquired from non-coherent electromagnetic radiation by the holographic apparatus, each holographic data encoding both magnitude and phase of said non-coherent electromagnetic radiation, the holographic apparatus having a wave modulator receiving said non-coherent electromagnetic radiation from the object, wherein each sub-hologram is acquired at a different position and/or orientation of said physical aperture, such that the combination of holographic data from said different positions and/or orientations defines a synthetic aperture which is larger than said physical aperture; tiling said sub-holograms to generate a mosaic hologram of the object, wherein a resolution power of said mosaic hologram is higher than a resolution power of each individual sub-hologram; and transmitting said mosaic hologram to a computer readable medium.
