Opis

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.

Recenzje

' … this book covers both the fundamental principles of holography and an overview of many important holographic applications, with a good balance between theory and practice … an excellent starting point for anyone wishing to become familiar with the holographic discipline.' Dr. Donald H. Barnhart, The Industrial Laser User
