Optical Scanning Holography is an exciting new field with many potential novel applications. This book contains tutorials, research materials, as well as new ideas and insights that will be useful for those working in the field of optics and holography. The book has been written by one of the leading researchers in the field. It covers the basic principles of the topic which will make the book relevant for years to come.

This book serves two purposes. The first is to succinctly cover the necessary mathematical background and wave optics that pertain to Fourier optics and holography. The second is to introduce optical scanning holography (OSH) - a form of electronic (or digital) holography - to the readers, and to provide them with experience in modeling the theory and applications utilizing MATLAB®.

Optical Scanning Holography with MATLAB® consists of tutorials (with numerous MATLAB examples throughout the text), research material, as well as new ideas and insights that are useful for engineering or physics students, scientists, and engineers working in the fields of Fourier optics, optical scanning imaging and holography. The book is self-contained and covers the basic principles of OSH. Thus, this book will be relevant for years to come. The writing style of this book is geared towards undergraduate seniors or first-year graduate-level students in the fields of engineering and physics. The material covered in this book is suitable for a one-semester course in Fourier optics, optical scanning imaging and holography.
