Sinopsis
Optical Scanning Holography with MATLAB® consists of tutorials (with numerous MATLAB examples throughout the text), research material, as well as new ideas and insights that are useful for engineering or physics students, scientists, and engineers working in the fields of Fourier optics, optical scanning imaging and holography. The book is self-contained and covers the basic principles of OSH. Thus, this book will be relevant for years to come. The writing style of this book is geared towards undergraduate seniors or first-year graduate-level students in the fields of engineering and physics. The material covered in this book is suitable for a one-semester course in Fourier optics, optical scanning imaging and holography.
Optical scanning holography is a highly sophisticated technology that consists of numerous facets and applications. It is a real-time (or on-the-fly) holographic recording technique that is based on active optical heterodyne scanning. It is a relatively new area in electronic holography and will potentially lead science and technology to many novel applications such as cryptography, 3-D display, scanning holographic microscopy, 3-D pattern recognition and 3-D optical remote sensing. The main purpose of this book is to introduce optical scanning holography to the readers in a manner that will allow them to feel comfortable enough to explore the technology on their own - possibly even encourage them to begin implementing their own set-ups in order to create novel OSH applications. Optical scanning holography is generally a simple yet powerful technique for 3-D imaging, and it is my aspiration that this book will stimulate further research of optical scanning holography and its various novel applications.
