OS7014 Theory of Holography
Last Revised: 2018-04-11
Course Objectives
Holography is a method to fully record and reconstruct an object wave. Based on the fundamental theory of interference, diffraction, and coherence, we develop some basic theory for holography. Then, using Fourier optics and electromagnetic theory, we develop more advanced theory which can predict not only the diffraction efficiency but also the angular and wavelength selectivity of a hologram. We also provide some applications of holography, which includes measurement and display, etc. The objective of this course is to let students understand the principle of holography and know some of its applications.
