Holography has recently become a field of much interest because of the many new applications implemented by various holographic techniques. This book is a collection of 22 excellent chapters written by various experts, and it covers various aspects of holography. Naturally, one book by 22 researches cannot cover all the richness of the holography world. Nevertheless, the book gives an updated picture on the hottest topics that the scientific community deals with, in the field of holography. The book contains recent outputs from researches belonging to different research groups worldwide, providing a rich diversity of approaches to the topic of holography. The aim of the book is to present a cutting edge research on holography to the reader. We are lucky that it is freely accessible on the inteet and enables outstanding contributors to share their knowledge with every interested reader.
The 22 chapters of the book are organized in six sections, starting with theory, continuing with materials, techniques, applications as well as digital algorithms, and finally ending with non-optical holograms. There are two chapters in the first section of Basic Theory of Optics and Holography. The first chapter is about optical Fourier transform which is an essential tool in many holographic schemes. The second chapter discusses philosophically the role of the holographic principle in nature. The sections subsequent to the first section deal with more practical aspects of holography. The section of holographic materials contains three chapters describing holograms recorded on the following mediums:
Acrylamide-based recording material
Photorefractive media, and
Optical waveguides
The next section depicting holographic techniques also contains four chapters:
New technique of recording incoherent digital holograms,
Novel technique of recording in-line coherent digital holograms.
Original technique of recording pulsed color digital holograms.
The latest method of reconstructing nano-objects from optical holograms.
The subsequent section detailing holographic applications, obviously contains the largest number of chapters. The applications described in this book are only a tiny sample of the use of holography in many scientific and industrial areas. Two chapters deal with the role of holography in research of biological cells. Then the next two chapters describe the creation of holographic lattice structures for manufacturing photonic crystals. The last three chapters in the applications section discuss the use of holography in the fields of particles tracking, MEMS, and vibration measurement, respectively. Following the extensive section of applications, a section consisting of four chapters is devoted to the growing link between holography and the world of digital computation. This link is best expressed by the digital holograms which are the type of holograms that are recorded optically and reconstructed digitally in the computer memory. Each of the four chapters in this section describes a specific digital algorithm of digital hologram reconstructions. This book rounds off with two interesting chapters on nonoptical holograms: one discusses the x-ray holography for biomedical imaging, and the other introduces the topic of electron holography.
