The Proceedings contain state-of-the-art reviews and original materials related to up-to-date developments in a wide range of optical control methods. They are devoted in particular to shape, displacement and deformation measurement, strain analysis, mechanical behavior evaluation, inspection and non-destructive testing. Three principal classes of methods are under consideration: speckle photography, holographic interferometry and speckle interferometry. Both the state-of-the-art practices and the actual leading-edge techniques are discussed within a single volume, with reference to theoretical backgrounds common to all methods. Usually, similar information is distributed over many specialised works. The book presents both conceptual and practical aspects: theoretical considerations are fully analysed and applications illustrate the emphasis on many experimental aspects.

This Proceedings comprises the written counterparts of 80 presentations - invited, contributed and poster - given during an international conference held in Lausanne, Switzerland, September 25 - 28, 2000. It includes, in well-balanced proportions and with equal emphasis on theoretical and applied developments, review works and original research done by leading scientists in the domains of speckle phenomena, speckle photography, holographic interferometry, speckle interferometry, interferometric signals and fringe patterns processing, and commonly related techniques. These domains form the subject of the six chapters of the book. The optical properties of speckle waves strongly influence most of the methods scrutinised and serve as an intrinsic link between the chapters.
