Definitions
from The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, 5th Edition.
- noun A method of producing a three-dimensional image of an object by recording on a photographic plate or film the pattern of interference formed by a split laser beam and then illuminating the pattern either with a laser or with ordinary light.
