Electronic and photographic interferometric recording, and
their combination, result in several novel optical measuring
techniques. The interferometric properties of holographic and
speckle processes in these techniques encompass fields such as
lapse time, real time and time average holographic interferometry,
two-wavelength and multiple-index speckle contouring, figure
(moire) interference, photographic bleach processes and electronic
processing. Each of these fields is analysed and conclusions are
drawn in their interaction with the proposed techniques. A clear
and simple approach to optical wave theory is intended with
emphasis in scalar wave theory. [Continues.
