Synopsis

Although they are mostly known by the general public for producing beautiful artworks, holograms are used in a variety of technical applications. From nondestructive testing of composite materials to data storage and processing, there are numerous situations where holography is better suited than any other method. This Field Guide presents an overview of the various concepts of holography, including a theoretical foundation and descriptions of the different types of holograms, techniques used to produce them, and the most common recording materials. Written with a large audience in mind-including students, researchers, and engineers-the book provides a broad panorama of the field to help readers understand its concepts and methodology.

About the Author:

Pierre-Alexandre Blanche is an Assistant Research Professor at the College of Optical Sciences, University of Arizona. He received his Ph.D. in 1999 from the University of Liège (Belgium), after which he held a postdoctoral position at the University of Arizona in the field of nonlinear optics. Back in Belgium, he developed a hologram production facility for diverse scientific applications using dichromated gelatin and photopolymers. In 2006, he joined the College of Optical Sciences to work on photorefractive materials, holographic 3D displays, and various diffractive optical systems.
