The only all-inclusive treatment of holography–from
fundamental principles to the most advanced concepts
While several existing texts cover different aspects of the
field of holography, none provides a complete, up-to-date, and
accessible view of its popular, scientific, and engineering
aspects. Now, from an author team that includes one of the world’s
pioneers in the field, Holographic Imaging fills this need with a
single, comprehensive text that covers the subject from traditional
holography to the cutting-edge development of the world’s most
advanced three-dimensional holographic images, holographic
printing, and holographic video.
Written in an engaging and easy-to-follow style, Holographic
Imaging promotes a hands-on approach to making holograms and
provides readers with a working understanding of how and why they
work. Following a brief introduction to the fundamentals of light
and diffraction, coverage includes: the diffraction efficiency of
gratings, ‘platonic’ holography, a ray-tracing analysis of
holography, holographic lenses and in-line ‘Gabor’ holography,
off-axis ‘Leith & Upatnieks’ holography, non-laser illumination
of holograms, phase conjunction and real image projection,
full-aperture transfer holography, white-light transmission
‘rainbow’ holography, practical issues in rainbow holography,
in-line ‘Denisyuk’ reflection holography, off-axis reflection
holography, edge-lit holography, computational display holography,
holographic printing, and holographic television.
Helpful diagrams and equations that summarize the mathematical
and physical principles for each technique discussed make this an
approachable resource for readers from a variety of backgrounds,
including undergraduate and postgraduate students with an interest
in optics, optoelectronics, and information display, as well as
researchers, scientists, engineers, and technology-savvy
artists.
