This highly practical and self-contained guidebook explains the principles and major applications of digital hologram recording and numerical reconstruction (Digital Holography).

A special chapter is designated to digital holographic interferometry with applications in deformation and shape measurement and refractive index determination.

A plications in imaging and microscopy are also described.

Spcia techniques such as digital light-in-flight holography, holographic endoscopy, information encrypting, comparative holography, and related techniques of speckle metrology are also treated
