Download or read book Handbook of Holographic Interferometry written by Thomas Kreis and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2006-04-20 with total page 554 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book presents the principles and methods of holographic interferometry - a coherent-optical measurement technique for deformation and stress analysis, for the determination of refractive-index distributions, or applied to non-destructive testing. Emphasis of the book is on the quantitative computer-aided evaluation of the holographic interferograms. Based upon wave-optics the evaluation methods, their implementation in computer-algorithms, and their applications in engineering are described.
