We show that the mean phase of waves propagating all the way from the far side of the Sun to the front side, as measured by seismic holography, varies with time. The change is highly anticorrelated with solar cycle activity and is consistent with other recent results on the variation of the seismic radius of the Sun. The phase change that we observe corresponds to a few kilometers difference in...

With the electronic industry being one of the most dynamic, in terms of new technologies, electronic packages have to be designed and optimized for new and ever more demanding applications in relatively short periods of time. This, in turn, indicates a need for effective quantitative testing methodologies. In this paper, a novel hybridized use of nondestructive, noninvasive, remote, full field ...

We apply digital in-line holography to image opaque objects through a thick plano-concave pipe. Opaque fibers and opaque particles are considered. Analytical expression of the intensity distribution in the CCD sensor plane is derived using a generalized Fresnel transform. The proposed model has the ability to deal with various pipe shapes and thicknesses and compensates for the lack of versatil...

The techniques of small particle holography are extended in an elementary way to show that multiple exposure holography can be used to study the dynamic properties of particle fields. Experimental techniques for performing such a study are then described. Finally, as a typical example, a multiple exposure hologram of an aerosol is presented with a portion of the data extracted from it. The holo...

This paper shortly describes Blender 3D modification and its use for the design of mechanical parts. The 3D modification of the Blender modeling system and experiments made brought interesting results especially from the human-computer interaction field. The modification relies on the stereoscopy based devices which are currently available at the market. However, the stereoscopy has some drawba...

Depth extraction is an important aspect of three-dimensional (3D) image processing with digital holograms and an essential step in extended focus imaging and metrology. All available depth extraction techniques with macroscopic objects are based on variance; however, the effectiveness of this is object dependent. We propose to use disparity between corresponding points in intensity reconstructi...

An original technique that combines digital holography, dual illumination of the sample and cleaning algorithm 3D reconstruction is proposed. It uses a standard transmission microscopy setup coupled with a digital holography detection. The technique is 4D, since it allows to determine, at each time step, the 3D locations (x,y,z) of many moving objects that scatter the dual illumination beam. Th...

During the last years it was shown that time-resolved digital holography (TRDH), combining the conventional offaxis digital holography and ultrashort probing laser pulses results in versatile tool suitable for ultra-fast phenomena studies. The temporal resolution of this method depends on the duration of the used ultrashort probing pulses and measurements could be performed in temporal range fr...
