Digital Holography and Wavefront Sensing: Principles, Techniques and Applications

By William Abbotts Snaith

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.

Applications in imaging and microscopy are also described.

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

A Good Introduction to a Difficult Subject

I must respectfully disagree with many of the negative things said in the previous reviews about this book. I find it to be by far and away the easiest to understand text on metalogic that I have come across. I am, however, a professional philosopher with a good deal of training in logic. So the material is not new to me, which surely makes the book much easier for me to understand. That said, I think that some of the...

Outstanding work

This book gives examples and "answers" to the examples. It makes the clear distinction between formality or "syntax" and meaning or "semantics." This critical distinction is utilized to shed light on consistency proofs and undecidability. Part of Goedel's proof involved the liar's paradox. In other words, part of Goedel's proof required the semantic acknowledgement of a phrase that didn't go anywhere, namely, "this theorem...

Forget "Godel Escher Bach", read "Metalogic"!

I feel compelled to write this review because I disagree utterly with the previous reviewer. This is a fantastic book! I have no specialist training in logic, but I found "Metalogic" to be a clear, interesting, well-written and definitely "painless" text. I highly recommend this book as an introduction to metalogic; in fact, I would recommend it in preference to the other popular text on metalogic, the brilliant "Godel...
