Description:

Digital Holographic Interferometry is a useful technique for measuring the deformation or displacement of the surface of an object by recording at least two speckle patterns, one before and one after the object is deformed. Holographic interferometry utilizes interference between the speckled image of an object illuminated by a laser and a reference beam derived from the same laser. Any change in the shape of the object results in local changes in the intensity distribution in the holographic fringe pattern. This optical technique allows detecting deformation with sensitivity smaller than the wavelength of light. The holograms are generated directly on a charge coupled device (CCD) target and stored electronically. The speckle patterns can be taken quickly analyzed using Holographic interferometry and Fourier transform method. © 2010 American Institute of Physics.
