Author Description

This book concentrates on the unique problems involved in volume holography with real materials. Underlying theory is covered thoroughly, and all experimental aspects are discussed, including the selection of equipment, suitable materials, recording, processing, and testing of holograms. Many results are described, and a wide range of applications are reviewed. The work reflects a thorough survey of the literature--including hard-to-find Soviet research. Anyone interested in making or understanding holograms will find it a valuable source of information.
