Text on optical data processing - optical spectrum analysis, optical correlation, photographic film characteristics, and holography
Zone plate free from chromatic aberration and application to three-color holography
Laser holography combined with schlieren techniques to measure ray deviations in optically inhomogeneous field of transient phenomenon
Low noise amplifiers, laser radar optics, gas lasers and holography, and microminiaturized solid state devices for radio electronics
Holograms as visual displays, reduction of space-bandwidth product in holography, and propagation of optical signals or imaging through turbulent media
Improvement in sensitivity of holography, the technique of lensless interferometry, is obtained by enhancing the higher-order structure in the interferogram. By using the light diffracted into higher orders than the first, phase sensitivity is increased over the first order sensitivity by a factor equal to the order number used.
Properties of Bragg holography in alkali halide crystals and application to optical data storage and processing
Extended source Fourier transform holography for single image synthesis of multiple identical images produced by multiple pinhole camera in X ray astronomy
Fourier transform hologram camera increases the velocity range for holography by a factor of 10 to 1000. Two different optical systems, using a triangular arrangement of beam splitters and a mirror to illuminate the object from two directions, are investigated.
Goddard Space Flight Center optical studies, noting UV and soft X ray regions, lasers and holography, vision, photography and testing
Fringe pattern motion is compensated by closed-loop servo system that adjusts a mirror mounted on piezoelectric crystal, so that path difference in interferometer is maintained at constant values at one point in the field. System is applicable to holography with continuous wave laser sources.
Beam splitter employing birefringent optics provides either widely different or precisely equal beam ratios, it can be used with laser light source systems for interferometry of lossy media, holography, scattering measurements, and precise beam ratio applications.
Q-switched ruby laser holography with optical equipment to compensate for spatial and temporal incoherence for contouring, aerodynamic visualization, and nondestructive testing
Book on optical data processing covering light characteristics, Fourier transforms, spectrum analysis, photographic film, filtering, holography, etc
Coherent optical data processing techniques, discussing diffraction phenomena, spectral analysis and holography
Holography utilization to data processing, discussing factors affecting recording and matched filters creation for pattern recognition
A combined analytical and experimental program was conducted to determine the deformation characteristics of deep surface cracks in Mode I loading. An approximate plane finite element analysis was performed to make a parameter study on the influence of crack depth, crack geometry, and stress level on plastic zones, crack opening displacement, and back surface dimpling in Fe-3Si steel and 2219-T87 aluminum. Surface replication and profiling techniques were used to examine back surface dimple configurations in 2219-T87 aluminum. Interferometry and holography were used to evaluate the potential of various optical techniques to detect small surface dimples on large surface areas.
Flat panels simulating internally cooled regenerative thrust chamber walls were fabricated by electroforming, brazing and diffusion bonding to evaluate the feasibility of nondestructive evaluation techniques to detect bonds of various strength integrities. Ultrasonics, holography, and acoustic emission were investigated and found to yield useful and informative data regarding the presence of bond defects in these structures.
