ABSTRACTIncreasing miniaturization is required in many domains of optical instrumentation , such as in the development of endoscopic devices.In combination with coherent metrology, especially holographic interferometry, a new class of minute instruments can be developed for high-resolving, non-contactive f non-destructive intra-cavity measurements. Three developments in micro-optics give main impulses to actual progress in holographic endoscopy: -micro-optical gradient-index imaging systems, -micro-optical (single-mode) imaging fiber bundles, and -electro-optical crystals as (micro-optical) holographic storage devices.
