✦ Synopsis

Digital holography is an emerging field of new paradigm in general imaging applications. By replacing the photochemical procedures with electronic imaging and having a direct numerical access to the complex optical field, a wide range of new imaging capabilities become available, many of them difficult or infeasible in conventional holography. An increasing number of researchers—not only in optical physics and optical engineering, but also in diverse applications areas such as microbiology, medicine, marine science, particle analysis, microelectromechanics, and metrology—are realizing and exploiting the new capabilities of digital holography.

Digital Holographic Microscopy: Principles, Techniques, and Applications, by Dr. Myung K. Kim, is intended to provide a brief but consistent introduction to the principles of digital holography as well as to give an organized overview of the large number of techniques and applications being developed. This will also shed some light on the range of possibilities for further developments. As such, the intended readers are the students and new researchers interested in developing new techniques and exploring new applications of digital holography. Numerous simulation examples and carefully designed diagrams help one to see the essential elements of the variety of techniques and applications. Reference lists are given at the end of each chapter to make the search for relevant materials somewhat easier.
