Holography/Digital Holography

Commercial system development: handheld holographic system

This system enables quantitative, non-invasive, non-contact 4D characterization of  reflective surfaces. Based on the principles of digital holography, it provides real-time depth measurements with comparable accuracy to that of atomic force microscope at only a significant fraction of the cost and hassle.
