Abstract
Holographic interferometry was first observed in 1964 as an unexplained interference effect within the reconstruction of a hologram due to multiple transverse modes of the recording laser. This quickly led to double exposure holograms, then to time-average holograms of vibrating objects, and finally to real-time interferometry between the object and its hologram reconstruction. Work then began on understanding phenomena such as fringe localization and the generation of fringes due to different types of motion and as a result of introducing beam modulation into the recording apparatus. Over the decade from 1965 to 1975, numerous theories of fringe localization were published covering both diffusely reflecting objects and transparent media.
