Application de techniques de multiplexing holographique à l'interférométrie : I. Holographie multiplex à codage du faisceau objet
Holographic interferometry is a measurement technique through which displacements or deformations of objects may also be made evident to qualitative observation. For this type of interferogram the signals recorded usually arise from a well-defined portion of the phenomenon under study. This selection of the information to be recorded will therefore necessitate a preliminary knowledge of the course of the phenomenon. In multiplex holographic many signals are recorded over the same photographic medium so that, by proper coding of a sequence of signals, these can be made to interfere two at a time when reconstructed. When multiplexing is achieved by object beam coding, studies of possible applications have shown that the procedures of Fourier transform holography using a lens and orthoscopic pupil mask multiplexing may both serve to code optical informations from a phenomenon and provide, after decoding, an interferometric analysis of this same phenomenon.[Journal translation]
