Abstract

Abstract THE HOLOGRAPHIC INTERFEROMETER MAKES USE OF THE STORED BEAM HOLOGRAM FOR INVESTIGATING A DISPLACED OR DISTORED OBJECT. ILLUMINATION OF THE STORED BEAM HOLOGRAM BY THE DISTORTED OBJECT WILL CAUSE THE GENERATION OF A DISTORTED REFERENCE BEAM. THE SUBJECT BEAM IS NOW BLOCKED OFF AND THE DISTORTED REFERENCE BEAM IS ALLOWED TO INTER- FERE WITH THE ORIGINAL REFERENCE BEAM. THIS WILL YIELD AN INTERFEROGRAM OR FRINGE PATTERN CORRESPONDING TO THE OBJECT DEFORMATION.
