Holography and Speckle A Review of 60 Successful Years

This book is a collection of articles written by the world's leading scientists in the fields of holography, speckle, optical metrology, non-destructive testing, interferometry, shape measurement, and diffractive optics, to celebrate the 60th anniversary of holography in 2021 and its remarkable impact on numerous areas of science and engineering to the present day. Sixty years after the publication of the seminal article by Leith and Upatnieks, 55 years after the discovery of holographic interferometry by Stetson and Powel, 50 years after the invention of speckle metrology and Gabor's remarkable Nobel lecture in 1971, this unique collection provides a complete overview of this exciting field.
