Contouring of diffused objects using lensless Fourier transform digital moiré holography.

A method is proposed for contouring of diffused objects using digital holographic moiré interferometry in lensless Fourier transform configuration. Fringe projection moiré technique combined with digital double-exposure holography produces the contours in this method. Two digital holograms of a 10 mm aluminum alloy cube are recorded by tilting the illumination angle slightly between exposures, and a third one is recorded by translating the detector a little laterally with the final illumination angle unchanged.

Temperature measurement in laminar free convective flow using digital holography.

A method for measurement of temperature in laminar free convection flow of water is presented using digital holographic interferometry. The method is relatively simple and fast because the method uses lensless Fourier transform digital holography, for which the reconstruction algorithm is simple and fast, and also the method does not require use of any extra experimental efforts as in phase shifting. The quantitative unwrapped phase difference is calculated experimentally from two digital holograms recorded in two different states of water--one in the quiescent state, the other in the laminar free convection.
