Resonant holographic interferometry of laser‐ablation plumes

Resonant holographic interferometry measurements of laser ablation plumes in vacuum, gas, and plasma environments

Resonant holographic interferometry and dye-laser-resonance-absorption photography have been utilized to investigate the expansion of the laser ablation plumes produced by a KrF excimer laser beam (248 nm) focused onto an aluminum target (-0.1 cm’, 2-6 J/cm’). Plume expansion was studied in vacuum and in background argon gas pressures of 14 mTorr, 52 mTorr, 210 mTorr, 1 Torr, and 35 Ton: The ex...

Resonant Holographic Interferometry, An Innovative Technique For Combustion Diagnostics

This synopsis discusses our development efforts in the area of resonant holographic interferometry (RHI). RHI is a completely nonintrusive optical diagnostic suitable for a wide range of gas dynamic investigations. As described in previous reports, RHI is a hybrid technique that combines the multi-dimensional imaging capability of holography, the phase sensitive detection of interferometry, and...

Incoherent Holographic Interferometry

In-line digital holographic interferometry.

An optical system based on in-line digital holography for the evaluation of deformations is described. In-line holograms are recorded on a CCD chip. The problem of overlapping twin images typical for the in-line arrangement is solved by digital reconstruction and filtering of the unwanted wave fronts. Two separate interferograms of an object under test in its undeformed and deformed states are ...

Color Holographic Interferometry (from Holographic Plates to Digital Holography)

ABSTRACT: We propose to detail a comparison of optical non invasive techniques using panchromatic holographic plates and digital holography for analyzing unsteady wake flows. Few years ago, ONERA developed optical methods based on real-time three-wavelength holographic interferometry using transmission and reflection holographic plates. These techniques combine the advantages of differential in...
