Abstract

Holographic workstations are now enabling the advantages of Holographic Interferometry (HI) to be taken outside research laboratories and placed alongside manufacturing equipment. Most rigidization problems have been overcome but two handicaps still limit its widespread application. They are: i) Relative speed of the recording medium requiring either large expensive lasers or long exposure periods; ii) The analysis of the resultant interferograms which require suitable highly skilled support.
