Abstract

We consider a radiation solution ψ\psi for the Helmholtz equation in an exterior region in R3\mathbb R^3. We show that the restriction of ψ\psi to any ray LL in the exterior region is uniquely determined by its imaginary part ψ\Im\psi on an interval of this ray. As a corollary, the restriction of ψ\psi to any plane XX in the exterior region is uniquely determined by ψ\Im\psi on an open domain in this plane. These results have holographic prototypes in the recent work Novikov (2024, Proc. Steklov Inst. Math. 325, 218-223). In particular, these and known results imply a holographic type global uniqueness in passive imaging and for the Gelfand-Krein-Levitan inverse problem (from boundary values of the spectral measure in the whole space) in the monochromatic case. Some other surfaces for measurements instead of the planes XX are also considered.
