Overview
Digital Speckle Interferometry and Related Techniques provides a single source of information in this rapidly progressing field. Containing contributions from leading experts, it provides the key background information, including the fundamental concepts, techniques, and applications, and presents the major technological progress that has contributed to revitalization in the field over the past fifteen years, including digital speckle photography and digital holographic interferometry.
Synopsis
European physicists and engineers discuss a class of whole-field interferometric techniques that includes TV holography, electronic holography, and phase-shifting speckle pattern interferometry; involve similar optical and electronic principles; and are used to measure out-of-plane and in-plane displacement components, strains, slopes, curvatures, and vibrations of a diffusely scattering object. The treatment is primarily a reference for scientists and engineers using or thinking of using the approach, but can also serve as a self-study tutorial or a text for a graduate or advanced undergraduate course.
