Although they are mostly known by the general public for producing beautiful artworks, holograms are used in a variety of technical applications. From nondestructive testing of composite materials to data storage and processing, there are numerous situations where holography is …
This volume examines the history of the use of the hologram. Holograms are photographs of interference patterns that, when suitably illuminated, produce three-dimensional images. In its pure form, holography requires the use of laser light for illuminating the subject and for vi…
A comprehensive survey of the state of the art in 3-D holographic imaging techniques and applications. This book introduces the general concepts of both real-time and non-real-time 3-D holographic imaging techniques for scientific and engineering applications. It offers readers …
