1st Edition
by Pascal Picart (Author), Jun-chang Li (Author)
This book presents a substantial description of the principles and applications of digital holography.
The
first part of the book deals with mathematical basics and the linear
filtering theory necessary to approach the topic. The next part
describes the fundamentals of diffraction theory and exhaustively
details the numerical computation of diffracted fields using FFT
algorithms. A thorough presentation of the principles of holography and
digital holography, including digital color holography, is proposed in
the third part.
A special section is devoted to the algorithms and
methods for the numerical reconstruction of holograms. There is also a
chapter devoted to digital holographic interferometry with applications
in holographic microscopy, quantitative phase contrast imaging,
multidimensional deformation investigations, surface shape measurements,
fluid mechanics, refractive index investigations, synthetic aperture
imaging and information encrypting.
Keys so as to understand the
differences between digital holography and speckle interferometry and
examples of software for hologram reconstructions are also treated in
brief.
