Get up to speed with digital holography

This concise and straightforward introduction to modern techniques and conventions covers the basics of digital holography. Building up from the fundamental principles of optics, this book describes key techniques such as phase-shifting holography, low-coherence holography, diffraction tomographic holography, and optical scanning holography. It discusses their practical applications and provides all the necessary theory to understand the underlying principles at work.

A further chapter covers advanced techniques for producing computer-generated holograms. Extensive Matlab code is integrated with the text throughout and is available for download online, illustrating both theoretical results and practical considerations such as aliasing, zero padding, and sampling.

Accompanied by end-of-chapter problems and an online solutions manual for instructors, this is an indispensable resource for students, researchers, and engineers in the fields of optical image processing and digital holography.
