Digital Holography and Three-Dimensional Display Principles and Applications [Paperback]

Digital holography and its application to 3-D display is one of the formidable problems of evolving areas of high technology to receive great attention in recent years. This book offers a collection of key chapters that covers digital holography and 3-D display techniques to provide the state-of-the-art developments in these important areas. The book contains research material as well as reviews, new ideas and fresh insights.

Digital (or electronic) holography and its application to 3-D display is one of the formidable problems of evolving areas of high technology that has been receiving great attention in recent years. Indeed, the Holy Grail for 3-D display is the realization of life-size interactive 3-D displays. Obviously, we are not there yet, but advances in 3-D display allow us to make important steps towards the Holy Grail. The theme of this book is to organize a collection of key chapters that covers digital holography and 3-D display techniques so as to provide the reader with the state-of-the-art developments in these important areas around the world.
