9780521311632: Optical Holography: Principles, Techniques and Applications

Synopsis

This book presents a self-contained treatment of the principles, techniques and applications of optical holography, with particular emphasis on recent developments. The first part deals with the theory of holographic imaging, the characteristics of the reconstructed image and the different types of holograms. The next section covers the practical aspects of holography - optical systems, light sources and recording media - as well as the production of holograms for display, colour holography and computer-generated holograms. Finally, there is a detailed description of the most important applications of holography. These include particle-size analysis, high-resolution imaging, holographic optical elements and information storage and processing, as well as holographic interferometry and its use in stress analysis, vibration studies and contouring.

Revue de presse

'[The book] will appeal to a wide audience, from those embarking on a serious study of holography to the established researcher who will use it as a reference text.' Nature

'This book assumes only undergraduate training in science or engineering; anyone wishing to learn more about optical holography, as well as established researchers and engineers in this field, will find it invaluable. I can recommend this book as an useful, clearly-written and up-to-date study of the today holography.' P. Farner, Optik
