Book Overview
Revised to reflect technological advances and new applications, Practical Holography, Third Edition is a classic, comprehensive text suitable for anyone involved in holography, from the interested amateur to the practicing research scientist. At its most basic level, the book introduces the principles behind holography and takes the reader on a step-by-step course through the materials, equipment, and techniques required to produce their own holograms. The author takes a purely practical viewpoint, keeping the mathematical content to a minimum. Later chapters of the book form a valuable reference for research scientists working with holographic techniques in all applications.

Holography Book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
This is a very detailed and complete book on holography for the beginner to intermediate experimenters. Great explanations of how a laser functions, which lasers to use, optics, setups, etc.
Great book on practical holography
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
Saxby's book is a must have for everyone involved in holography and is worth the high price. I have read several books on holography and this book is by far the best resource on practical holography. This books covers all the practical aspects of holography from setting up a holography lab to making advanced holograms. The explanations on the practical aspects are basic enough so that it can be understood by the interested layman. It also includes more in-depth sections on several aspects of holography such as a chemical analysis of developers, mathematical aspects of holography, Fourrier imaging,... which makes this book a good reference for the professional as well. The new layout of the third edition has dramatically improved the readability of the book. The third edition has been updated and includes the latest information on the new materials and laser diodes.

Excellent technical reference.

It's a pity that Saxby's "Practical Holography" is no longer in print. It covers a lot of ground. While the tone is frequently technical and too mathematical for the layman, this is compensated for by the numerous practical illustrations and examples.The developer and bleach formulary is excellent. While I eventually settled on D-19 rather than mixing my own developers, I have not found another bleach as satisfactory or simple as his #2 formula.The section on building your own huge plastic lenses for collimation over large plate areas remains a novel and practical approach to an ongoing problem.Go to your local library and see if they have it. If they don't have it, see if they can get this on loan for you. It's well worth the effort to read.
