Opis

This text provides a systematic description of the entire subject of particle field holography. Holography is used to study very small objects in a dynamic volume, providing information about the size, shape and velocity of such objects as dust, raindrops, fuel droplets and pollen. Professor Vikram aims to provide a coherent, comprehensive and self-contained treatment of the theory, practice and applications. All the necessary mathematical formulations, figures and photographs, experimental procedures and results, and literature citations are included.

Recenzje

'The book has great value for the practising physicist or engineer. The material is certainly appropriate to an introductory undergraduate course in optics … The book will be of great value to all researchers and graduate students working in the areas of nonlinear guided-wave optics.' Optics
