Holographic images are widely used in a variety of industrial, commercial, medical and scientific contexts. 'Holography: Basic and Advanced Applications' aims to offer a comprehensive resource on the subject, ranging from first principles to complex problems and innovations. The book is suitable for both the student reader seeking to understand holography and more advanced researchers seeking specific solutions and new directions for their own practice. In the first part of the book, different fields of application are surveyed. In the second part, research methods and technologies are examined, such as the quantitative analysis of cells through holographic microscopy and the fabrication of photonic crystals by interference technique. In the third part, basic principles and fundamental applications are described, and the chapters range across industrial, engineering and life sciences topics. In the final part of the book, advanced applications in metrology and imaging are introduced; chapters discuss topics such as liquid crystals in silicon displays, the visual language of holograms, and the interferometric characterization of optical waveguides. The book is clearly structured by theme and its chapters are supported by reviews of the relevant literature, making it an excellent starting point for further research.
