Holography in Medicine and Biology - State of the Art and the Problem of Increasing Militarization

  • Chapter
Optical Metrology

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((NSSE,volume 131))

Abstract

Although commonly regarded as part of physical optics holography has turned out to be a widespread, interdisciplinary field of science. This is not only understandable from the fact that the principle of holograhy is not restricted to optical waves but can be applied to any wave phenomenon. Moreover, it can be explained by understanding holography in more general terms e.g. complex spatial filtering [1] or by demonstrating the mathematical similarity to communication theory on the basis of Fourier transform [2]. Accordingly, applications of that basic principle have been attempted in a variety of sciences. Thus, today not only physicists and engineers but also biological and medical scientists are exploring the potentials of holographic methods in their special field of work. Since most of the underlying physical principles are explained in detail in other contributions to this Institute this article is confined to applications of holography in biomedical sciences. Because of the great number of contributions and the variety of applications [3,4,5,6,7,8], in this review the investigations can only be mentioned briefly and the survey has to be confined to some examples. Thus, concerning the topics of this Institute it seems to be appropriate to emphasize optical holograhic methods, especially the applications of holographic interferometry.
