Three-Dimensional Holographic Imaging

Meng Tsai Hua

A comprehensive survey of the state of the art in 3-D holographic imaging techniques and applications This book introduces the general concepts of both real-time and non-real-time 3-D holographic imaging techniques for scientific and engineering applications. It offers readers a fundamental understanding of the concepts of 3-D holographic imaging as well as cost-effective design and implementation. World-renowned experts in the field provide in-depth discussion of the following topics: Holograms of real and virtual point trajectories Self-stabilized real-time holographic recording Principles and applications of optical scanning holography Tangible, dynamic holographic images Holographic laser radar Preliminary studies on compression of interference patterns in electronic holography Photoelectronic principles, components, and applications Design and implementation of computer-generated hologram and diffractive optical elements Catastrophe analysis as the basis for visual perception Three-Dimensional Holographic Imaging is the most complete survey available of the fundamental topics in the field, ideal for electrical engineers, optical scientists, and advanced CAD/CAM systems engineers engaged in the design and construction of advanced imaging systems.
