Holographic Interferometry: Principles and Methods [Paperback]

Holographic Interferometry provides a valuable andup-to-date source of information in the rapidly expandingfield. The eight specialists` contributions cover theprinciples and methods currently in use. The scope of thebook has been limited to the study of opaque object andample space has been devoted to a comprehensive treatment ofthe phenomena of fringe formation, with a particularemphasis on the quantitative evaluation of the holographicinterference fringe patterns. The emergence ofcomputer-aided fringe analysis and phase-shifting techniqueshave simplified considerably the quantative real-timemeasurements of object shapes and deformations. The last twochapters provide a reasonably detailedoverview offull-field holographic methods for the measurement ofshapes, displacements, dervatives, difference displacementsand vibrations.1 Introduction.- 2 Basic Principles.- 3 Quantitative Determination of Displacements and Strains from Holograms.- 4 Two-Reference-Beam Holographic Interferometry.- 5 Phase-Shifting Holographic Interferometry.- 6 Computer-Aided Evaluation of Holographic Interferograms.- 7 Techniques to Measure Displacements, Derivatives and Surface Shapes.
