The technique of holography has been used in electron microscopy since the mid-twentieth century although laser-based optical holography, which came in the 1960s, is perhaps the best-known branch of this subject. Holography has a range of applications in the contemporary world, from data storage to biosensors, and we now stand on the brink of exciting new developments such as touchable holograms and the development of holographic television and conferencing systems.
With reference to the basic principles of holography, this book describes a number of contemporary applications for this technology, including the use of digital holographic microscopy for studying living cells, white light reconstructed holograms and holographic printing, and the use of photopolymer-based holographic elements in solar energy generation. The book will also discuss specific topics in electron holography and computer-generated/digital holography.
We believe that this book will provide an essential reference source and guide to new developments for students, researchers and engineers in the fields of physics, optics, computer graphics and image processing.
