title: Quantitative theory for predicting fringe pattern formation in holographic interferometry.
abstract: The effectiveness of holographic interferometry for displacement studies was investigated and profiles of the fringe patterns characteristic of the basic displacement modes were developed. In addition, techniques were established for determining displacement directions and measuring displacement magnitudes. Procedures were also established for extending these studies to evaluate complex displacements. A quantitative theory for predicting fringe pattern formation was developed.
