New measuring techniques using holographic and speckle interferometric recording

Electronic and photographic interferometric recording, and their combination, result in several novel optical measuring techniques. The interferometric properties of holographic and speckle processes in these techniques encompass fields such as lapse time, real time and time average holographic interferometry, two-wavelength and multiple-index speckle contouring, figure (moire) interference, photographic bleach processes and electronic processing. Each of these fields is analysed and conclusions are drawn in their interaction with the proposed techniques. A clear and simple approach to optical wave theory is intended with emphasis in scalar wave theory. [Continues.]
