Preface

Optical techniques have enormous capabilities and potentials, and the field continues to experience rapid growth. The inventions of the laser and holography diversified optical techniques, making them more powerful and easier to use in a wide range of areas, including engineering, scientific, and industrial applications. Holography added new dimensions to optical techniques and systems by offering the capability to preserve the three-dimensional (3D) details of an object. It is a powerful tool with a wide domain of applications. There has been an increased interest in the developments surrounding holographic materials and systems in order to make the field more authoritative and efficient for a large number of

This volume reflects some basic concepts of holographic materials and systems while providing a comprehensive introduction to the field. Chapters include information on volume holograms, display holograms, full-color holographic optical elements, computer-generated holograms, digital imaging devices, and image processing algorithms to improve the reconstruction process and the quality

This volume is intended for researchers in the field and other interested readers.
