Optics & Photonics

HolographicInterferometryA Mach–ZehnderApproachGregory R. TokerTechnion, Israel Institute of Technology

Transparent in the visible range, phase objectscan be studied in the optical range using holo-graphic interferometry. Typically, the hologramsare recorded on high-resolving-power holograph-ic photo materials, but a lower spatial resolutionis sufficient for successful research in many scien-tific applications. Holographic Interferometry: AMach–Zehnder Approach offers practical guid-ance to research scientists and engineers usingMach–Zehnder holographic interferometry meth-ods to study phase objects in the laboratory. TheMach–Zehnder approach allows the use of stan-dard photographic film and electronicCCD/CMOS sensors with low resolving power,making it a simpler and more affordable optionfor testing many types of phase objects.

This book demonstrates how to use standardphotographic film for the optical recording andreconstruction of Mach–Zehnder holograms. Italso illustrates techniques for using CCD/CMOScameras to digitally record Mach–Zehnder holo-grams/interferograms of transparent objects.Bringing together original research and informa-tion scattered throughout existing literature, thisbook focuses on the holographic reference beamand shearing interferometry methods. In particu-lar, it looks at how these methods and opticalschemes can be directly applied to testing aero-dynamic flows, as well as to plasmas, shocks, andwaves in noncoherent laser–matter interactions.

Numerous reconstructed and classic interfero-grams, deflectograms, and Schlierengrams illus-trate the material, helping readers develop anddesign their own optimal optical scheme andchoose applicable details to apply the approach.Describing methods in a mathematically simpleand accessible way, this book is also suitable forgraduate students in the fields of aerospace engi-neering and optics, as well as those in laser, ther-mal, and plasma physics.

ElectromagneticWaves,Materials, andComputationwith MATLAB®

Dikshitulu K. KalluriUniversity of Massachusetts,Lowell, USA

Readily available commercial software enablesengineers and students to perform routine cal-culations and design without necessarily havinga sufficient conceptual understanding of theanticipated solution. The software is so user-friendly that it usually produces a beautiful col-ored visualization of that solution, often camou-flaging the fact that the program is executingthe wrong simulation of the physical problem.Electromagnetic Waves, Materials, andComputation with MATLAB® takes an integra-tive modern approach to the subject of electro-magnetic analysis by supplementing quintessen-tial "old school" information and methods withinstruction in the use of newer commercial soft-ware such as MATLAB and methods includingFDTD. Delving into the electromagnetics ofbounded simple media, equations of complexmedia, and computation, this text includes:

• Appendices that cover a wide range of associated issues and techniques

• A concluding section containing an array ofproblems, quizzes, and examinations

A downloadable component for instructors includingPowerPoint® slides, solutions to problems, and more

Striking a balance between theoretical and prac-tical aspects, internationally recognized expertDikshitulu Kalluri clearly illustrates how intuitiveapproximate solutions are derived. Providingcase studies and practical examples throughout,he examines the role of commercial software inthis process, also covering interpretation of find-ings. Kalluri’s extensive experience teaching thissubject enables him to streamline and conveymaterial in a way that helps readers master con-ceptual mathematical aspects. This gives themconfidence in their ability to use high-level soft-ware to write code, but it also ensures that theywill never be solely dependent on such pro-grams.
