5 out of 5 stars Holography Book   February 20, 2007
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.

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.

Further update on Practical Holography. Pearson Education, who now own Prentice-Hall, have sold the last copy , but - good news - they will reprint single copies to individual order, until the next edition comes out. I am now working on a third edition, to be published by Institute of Physics Publishing towards the end of 2002. Agfa materials are no longer available, but BB and Slavich emulsions work well with all the formulas in the 2nd Edn.
