Digital Holography (eBook)

Pascal Picart has been Associate Professor at Université du Maine-Ecole Nationale Supérieure d'Ingénieurs du Mans (ENSIM, Le Mans, France) since 2005. His research interests include speckle metrology, optoacoustic spectroscopy, and optical biosensors. The current emphasis of his research program is on the development of new techniques in digital holography, holographic image processing, phase imaging and applications in the field of acoustics, structural mechanics and fluid mechanics. He is author/co-author of more than 140 scientific articles, 51 of which were peer-reviewed papers published in international journals. Jun-chang Li became Director of the Laboratory of Laser Applications at Kunming University of Sciences and Technologies (Kunming, China) in 1987. He has managed several projects funded by the National Science Agency of China and he is author/co-author of three books and more than 50 peer reviewed papers published in international journals. The current emphasis of his research program is on the development of computation methods for diffraction, wave front reconstruction and digital holographic image processing.
