Speckle-Wave Interactions in Application to Holography and Nonlinear Optics by Vladimir V. Shkunov, Alexander V. Mamaev, Boris Ya. Zel'dovich (Hardcover, 1994)
This text explains the principles of laser beam interactions applied to the recording, read-out and processing of information carrying optical waves. It provides both a quantitative and qualitative analysis of the specific effects that appear due to the fine-scale speckle structure of the spatial profile of a laser-originated wave. The basics of the nature, physics and properties of the speckle fields, as well as the fundamentals of holography and nonlinear optics are discussed. Both the simplified and detailed theories of read-out process for static and dynamic holograms of real objects are considered. The text explains a number of nonlinear optical photo-refractive effects which are specific for speckle waves, and discusses the problem of the ultimate information capacity of a volume hologram.
