Holographic Interferometry Technology and Methods
Technology and Techniques are mature and well understood

HI is full-field, non-contact, nondestructive, and real-time

Structural, Thermal, or vibration analysis performed with
very low amplitude or stress excitation

Identifies displacements, modal geometries, structural dynamics,
and induced stress


Holographic Methods Include:

Real-Time -- Generates fringe-patterns by super-imposing the hologram of stable (undistrurbed) object over the actual object as it is subjected to some stress in real time.

Time-average -- Genrates fringe patterns in hologram created while object is subjected to periodic displacement (vibration)

Multi-exposure -- generates "before and after stress" displacement fringe pattern

Techniques map geometry and magnitude of displacements
