Basics of Holography

Klappentext Basics of Holography is a general introduction to the subject written by a leading worker in the field. It begins with the theory of holographic imaging! the characteristics of the reconstructed image! and the various types of holograms. Practical aspects of holography are then described! including light sources! the characteristics of recording media and recording materials! as well as methods for producing different types of holograms and computer-generated holograms. Finally! important applications of holography are discussed! such as high-resolution imaging! holographic optical elements! information processing! and holographic interferometry. Zusammenfassung A general introduction to the subject of holography covering the theory of holographic imaging! practical aspects and the most important applications in science and industry. This book is an invaluable resource for science and engineering students and researchers. Inhaltsverzeichnis 1. Holographic imaging; 2. The reconstructed image; 3. Thin and thick holograms; 4.
