Optical Holography: Materials, Theory and Applications

Optical Holography: Materials, Theory and Applications provides researchers the fundamentals of holography through diffraction optics and an overview of the most relevant materials and applications, ranging from computer holograms to holographic data storage. Dr. Pierre Blanche leads a team of thought leaders in academia and industry in this practical reference for researchers and engineers in the field of holography. This book presents all the information readers need in order to understand how holographic techniques can be applied to a variety of applications, the benefits of those techniques, and the materials that enable these technologies.

Researchers and engineers will gain comprehensive knowledge on how to select the best holographic techniques for their needs.

Covers current applications of holographic techniques in areas such as 3D television, solar concentration, non-destructive testing and data storageDescribes holographic recording materials and their most relevant applicationsProvides the fundamentals of holography and diffraction optics
