It is best known as a method of generating [[three-dimensional images]], and has a wide range of other uses, including data storage, microscopy, and interferometry. In principle, it is possible to make a hologram for any type of [[Holography#Non-optical holography|wave]]. [8] => [9] => A '''hologram''' is a recording of an [[Wave interference|interference]] pattern that can reproduce a 3D [[light field]] using [[diffraction]]. In general usage, a hologram is a recording of any type of wavefront in the form of an interference pattern. It can be created by capturing [[light]] from a real scene, or it can be generated by a computer, in which case it is known as a [[computer-generated hologram]], which can show virtual objects or scenes. Optical holography needs a [[laser]] light to record the light field. The reproduced light field can generate an image that has the depth and [[parallax]] of the original scene.{{Cite web |url=http://holocenter.org/what-is-holography |title=What is Holography? {{!}} holocenter |language=en-US |access-date=2019-09-02}} A hologram is usually unintelligible when viewed under [[Diffuse reflection|diffuse ambient light]]. When suitably lit, the interference pattern diffracts the light into an accurate reproduction of the original light field, and the objects that were in it exhibit visual [[Depth perception|depth cues]] such as [[parallax]] and [[perspective (visual)|perspective]] that change realistically with the different angles of viewing. That is, the view of the image from different angles shows the subject viewed from similar angles. [10] => [11] => A hologram is traditionally generated by overlaying a second wavefront, known as the reference beam, onto a wavefront of interest. This generates an interference pattern, which is then captured on a physical medium. When the recorded interference pattern is later illuminated by the second wavefront, it is diffracted to recreate the original wavefront.{{Cite journal |last1=Jesacher |first1=Alexander |last2=Ritsch-Marte |first2=Monika |date=2016-01-02 |title=Synthetic holography in microscopy: opportunities arising from advanced wavefront shaping |url=http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/00107514.2015.1120007 |journal=Contemporary Physics |language=en |volume=57 |issue=1 |pages=46–59 |doi=10.1080/00107514.2015.1120007 |bibcode=2016ConPh..57...46J |issn=0010-7514}} The 3D image from a hologram can often be viewed with non-laser light. However, in common practice, major image quality compromises are made to remove the need for laser illumination to view the hologram. [12] => [13] => A computer-generated hologram is created by digitally modeling and combining two wavefronts to generate an interference pattern image. This image can then be printed onto a mask or film and illuminated with an appropriate light source to reconstruct the desired wavefront. Alternatively, the interference pattern image can be directly displayed on a dynamic holographic display.{{Cite journal |last1=Sahin |first1=Erdem |last2=Stoykova |first2=Elena |last3=Mäkinen |first3=Jani |last4=Gotchev |first4=Atanas |date=2020-03-20 |title=Computer-Generated Holograms for 3D Imaging: A Survey |url=https://trepo.tuni.fi//bitstream/handle/10024/127486/ACM_CSUR_Sahin_revised_submitted.pdf |journal=ACM Computing Surveys |volume=53 |issue=2 |pages=32:1–32:35 |doi=10.1145/3378444 |issn=0360-0300}} [14] => [15] => Holographic portraiture often resorts to a non-holographic intermediate imaging procedure, to avoid the dangerous high-powered [[Laser#Pulsed operation|pulsed lasers]] which would be needed to optically "freeze" moving subjects as perfectly as the extremely motion-intolerant holographic recording process requires. Early holography required high-power and expensive lasers. Currently, mass-produced low-cost [[laser diode]]s, such as those found on [[DVD recorder]]s and used in other common applications, can be used to make holograms. They have made holography much more accessible to low-budget researchers, artists, and dedicated hobbyists. [16] => [17] => Most holograms produced are of static objects, but systems for displaying changing scenes on dynamic holographic displays are now being developed.{{cite journal |last1 = Blanche |first1 = P.-A. |year =2010 |title = Holographic three-dimensional telepresence using large-area photorefractive polymer |journal = Nature |volume = 468 |issue = 7320 |pages = 80–83 |doi=10.1038/nature09521 |last2 = Bablumian |first2 = A. |last3 = Voorakaranam |first3 = R. |last4 = Christenson |first4 = C. |last5 = Lin |first5 = W. |last6 = Gu |first6 = T. |last7 = Flores |first7 = D. |last8 = Wang |first8 = P. |last9 = Hsieh |first9 = W.-Y. |last10 = Kathaperumal |first10 = M. |last11 = Rachwal |first11 = B. |last12 = Siddiqui |first12 = O. |last13 = Thomas |first13 = J. |last14 = Norwood |first14 = R.

[39] => [40] => ===Laser=== [41] => In laser holography, the hologram is recorded using a source of [[laser]] light, which is very pure in its color and orderly in its composition. Various setups may be used, and several types of holograms can be made, but all involve the interaction of light coming from different directions and producing a microscopic interference pattern which a [[photographic plate|plate]], film, or other medium [[photography|photographically]] records. [42] => [43] => In one common arrangement, the laser beam is split into two, one known as the [[signal beam|object beam]] and the other as the [[reference beam]]. The object beam is expanded by passing it through a lens and used to illuminate the subject. The recording medium is located where this light, after being reflected or scattered by the subject, will strike it. The edges of the medium will ultimately serve as a window through which the subject is seen, so its location is chosen with that in mind. The reference beam is expanded and made to shine directly on the medium, where it interacts with the light coming from the subject to create the desired interference pattern. [44] => [45] => Like conventional photography, holography requires an appropriate [[Exposure (photography)|exposure]] time to correctly affect the recording medium. Unlike conventional photography, during the exposure the light source, the optical elements, the recording medium, and the subject must all remain motionless relative to each other, to within about a quarter of the wavelength of the light, or the interference pattern will be blurred and the hologram spoiled. With living subjects and some unstable materials, that is only possible if a very intense and extremely brief pulse of laser light is used, a hazardous procedure which is rarely done outside of scientific and industrial laboratory settings. Exposures lasting several seconds to several minutes, using a much lower-powered continuously operating laser, are typical. [46] => [47] => ===Apparatus=== [48] => A hologram can be made by shining part of the light beam directly into the recording medium, and the other part onto the object in such a way that some of the scattered light falls onto the recording medium. A more flexible arrangement for recording a hologram requires the laser beam to be aimed through a series of elements that change it in different ways. The first element is a [[beam splitter]] that divides the beam into two identical beams, each aimed in different directions: [49] => * One beam (known as the 'illumination' or 'object beam') is spread using [[Lens (optics)|lenses]] and directed onto the scene using [[mirror]]s. Some of the light scattered (reflected) from the scene then falls onto the recording medium. [50] => * The second beam (known as the 'reference beam') is also spread through the use of lenses, but is directed so that it does not come in contact with the scene, and instead travels directly onto the recording medium. [51] => [52] => Several different materials can be used as the recording medium. One of the most common is a film very similar to [[photographic film]] ([[silver halide]] [[photographic emulsion]]), but with much smaller light-reactive grains (preferably with diameters less than 20 nm), making it capable of the much higher [[Optical resolution|resolution]] that holograms require. A layer of this recording medium (e.g., silver halide) is attached to a transparent substrate, which is commonly glass, but may also be plastic. [53] => [54] => ===Process=== [55] => When the two laser beams reach the recording medium, their light waves intersect and [[Interference (wave propagation)|interfere]] with each other. It is this interference pattern that is imprinted on the recording medium. The pattern itself is seemingly random, as it represents the way in which the scene's light ''interfered'' with the original light source – but not the original light source itself. The interference pattern can be considered an [[encoded]] version of the scene, requiring a particular key – the original light source – in order to view its contents. [56] => [57] => This missing key is provided later by shining a laser, identical to the one used to record the hologram, onto the developed film. When this beam illuminates the hologram, it is diffracted by the hologram's surface pattern. This produces a light field identical to the one originally produced by the scene and scattered onto the hologram. [58] => [59] => ===Comparison with photography=== [60] => Holography may be better understood via an examination of its differences from ordinary [[photography]]: [61] => * A hologram represents a recording of information regarding the light that came from the original scene as scattered in a range of directions rather than from only one direction, as in a photograph. This allows the scene to be viewed from a range of different angles, as if it were still present. [62] => * A photograph can be recorded using normal light sources (sunlight or electric lighting) whereas a laser is required to record a hologram. [63] => * A lens is required in photography to record the image, whereas in holography, the light from the object is scattered directly onto the recording medium. [64] => * A holographic recording requires a second light beam (the reference beam) to be directed onto the recording medium. [65] => * A photograph can be viewed in a wide range of lighting conditions, whereas holograms can only be viewed with very specific forms of illumination. [66] => * When a photograph is cut in half, each piece shows half of the scene. When a hologram is cut in half, the whole scene can still be seen in each piece. This is because, whereas each point in a [[photograph]] only represents light scattered from a single point in the scene, ''each point'' on a holographic recording includes information about light scattered from ''every point'' in the scene. It can be thought of as viewing a street outside a house through a {{convert|4|x|4|ft|cm|abbr=on|order=flip}} window, then through a {{convert|2|x|4|ft|cm|-1|abbr=on|order=flip}} window. One can see all of the same things through the smaller window (by moving the head to change the viewing angle), but the viewer can see more ''at once'' through the {{convert|4|ft|cm|abbr=on|order=flip}} window. [67] => * A photographic [[Stereoscopy|stereogram]] is a two-dimensional representation that can produce a three-dimensional effect but only from one point of view, whereas the reproduced viewing range of a hologram adds many more [[Depth perception|depth perception cues]] that were present in the original scene. These cues are recognized by the [[human brain]] and translated into the same perception of a three-dimensional image as when the original scene might have been viewed. [68] => * A photograph clearly maps out the light field of the original scene. The developed hologram's surface consists of a very fine, seemingly random pattern, which appears to bear no relationship to the scene it recorded. [69] => [70] => ==Physics of holography== [71] => [72] => {{Main|Physics of optical holography}} [73] => For a better understanding of the process, it is necessary to understand [[Interference (optics)|interference]] and diffraction. Interference occurs when one or more [[wavefronts]] are superimposed. Diffraction occurs when a wavefront encounters an object. The process of producing a holographic reconstruction is explained below purely in terms of interference and diffraction. It is somewhat simplified but is accurate enough to give an understanding of how the holographic process works. [74] => [75] => For those unfamiliar with these concepts, it is worthwhile to read those articles before reading further in this article. [76] => [77] => ===Plane wavefronts=== [78] => A [[diffraction grating]] is a structure with a repeating pattern. A simple example is a metal plate with slits cut at regular intervals. A light wave that is incident on a grating is split into several waves; the direction of these diffracted waves is determined by the grating spacing and the wavelength of the light. [79] => [80] => A simple hologram can be made by superimposing two [[plane wave]]s from the same light source on a holographic recording medium. The two waves interfere, giving a [[Interference (optics)#Between two plane waves|straight-line fringe pattern]] whose intensity varies sinusoidally across the medium. The spacing of the fringe pattern is determined by the angle between the two waves, and by the wavelength of the light. [81] => [82] => The recorded light pattern is a diffraction grating. When it is illuminated by only one of the waves used to create it, it can be shown that one of the diffracted waves emerges at the same angle at which the second wave was originally incident, so that the second wave has been 'reconstructed'. Thus, the recorded light pattern is a holographic recording as defined above. [83] => [84] => ===Point sources=== [85] => [[File:Zonenplatte Cosinus.png|upright|thumb|Sinusoidal zone plate]] [86] => [87] => If the recording medium is illuminated with a point source and a normally incident plane wave, the resulting pattern is a [[Zone plate|sinusoidal zone plate]], which acts as a negative [[Fresnel lens]] whose focal length is equal to the separation of the point source and the recording plane. [88] => [89] => When a plane wave-front illuminates a negative lens, it is expanded into a wave that appears to diverge from the focal point of the lens. Thus, when the recorded pattern is illuminated with the original plane wave, some of the light is diffracted into a diverging beam equivalent to the original spherical wave; a holographic recording of the point source has been created. [90] => [91] => When the plane wave is incident at a non-normal angle at the time of recording, the pattern formed is more complex, but still acts as a negative lens if it is illuminated at the original angle. [92] => [93] => ===Complex objects=== [94] => To record a hologram of a complex object, a laser beam is first split into two beams of light. One beam illuminates the object, which then scatters light onto the recording medium. According to diffraction theory, each point in the object acts as a point source of light so the recording medium can be considered to be illuminated by a set of point sources located at varying distances from the medium. [95] => [96] => The second (reference) beam illuminates the recording medium directly. Each point source wave interferes with the reference beam, giving rise to its own sinusoidal zone plate in the recording medium. The resulting pattern is the sum of all these 'zone plates', which combine to produce a random ([[Speckle pattern|speckle]]) pattern as in the photograph above. [97] => [98] => When the hologram is illuminated by the original reference beam, each of the individual zone plates reconstructs the object wave that produced it, and these individual wavefronts are combined to reconstruct the whole of the object beam. The viewer perceives a wavefront that is identical with the wavefront scattered from the object onto the recording medium, so that it appears that the object is still in place even if it has been removed. [99] => [100] => ==Applications== [101] => [102] => ===Art=== [103] => Early on, artists saw the potential of holography as a medium and gained access to science laboratories to create their work. Holographic art is often the result of collaborations between scientists and artists, although some holographers would regard themselves as both an artist and a scientist. [104] => [105] => [[Salvador Dalí]] claimed to have been the first to employ holography artistically. He was certainly the first and best-known surrealist to do so, but the 1972 New York exhibit of Dalí holograms had been preceded by the holographic art exhibition that was held at the [[Cranbrook Academy of Art]] in Michigan in 1968 and by the one at the Finch College gallery in New York in 1970, which attracted national media attention.{{cite web|url=http://holophile.com/history.htm |title=The History and Development of Holography|publisher=Holophile.com |access-date=2012-04-21}} In Great Britain, [[Margaret Benyon]] began using holography as an artistic medium in the late 1960s and had a solo exhibition at the [[University of Nottingham]] art gallery in 1969.{{Cite book| publisher = John Libbey and Company| isbn = 978-0-86196-266-2| pages = 65–88|editor-first1= Philip |editor-last1= Hayward | last = Coyle| first = Rebecca| title = Culture, Technology & Creativity in the Late Twentieth Century| chapter = Holography – Art in the space of technology| location = London, England| date = 1990| chapter-url = https://books.google.com/books?id=yLq3rM2at3cC&pg=PA67}} This was followed in 1970 by a solo show at the [[Lisson Gallery]] in London, which was billed as the "first London expo of holograms and stereoscopic paintings".{{cite web|title=Margaret Benyon Holography|url=http://www.lissongallery.com/exhibitions/margaret-benyon|website=Lisson Gallery|access-date=4 February 2016}} [106] => [107] => During the 1970s, a number of art studios and schools were established, each with their particular approach to holography.

Jackson, the Royal College of Art in London and the [[Lake Forest College]] Symposiums organised by [[Tung Jeong]].{{cite web|author=Integraf |url=http://www.integraf.com/tung_jeong.htm |title=Dr. Tung J.

[108] => [109] => During the 1980s, many artists who worked with holography helped the diffusion of this so-called "new medium" in the art world, such as Harriet Casdin-Silver of the United States, [[Dieter Jung (artist)|Dieter Jung]] of [[Germany]], and [[Moysés Baumstein]] of [[Brazil]], each one searching for a proper "language" to use with the three-dimensional work, avoiding the simple holographic reproduction of a sculpture or object. For instance, in Brazil, many concrete poets (Augusto de Campos, Décio Pignatari, Julio Plaza and José Wagner Garcia, associated with [[Moysés Baumstein]]) found in holography a way to express themselves and to renew [[Concrete Poetry]]. [110] => [111] => A small but active group of artists still integrate holographic elements into their work.{{cite web |url=http://www.universal-hologram.com/ |title=The Universal Hologram |website=Cherry Optical Holography}} Some are associated with novel holographic techniques; for example, artist Matt BrandHolographic metalwork http://www.zintaglio.com employed computational mirror design to eliminate image distortion from [[specular holography]].

[114] => [115] => ===Data storage=== [116] => {{Main|Holographic data storage}} [117] => Holographic data storage is a technique that can store information at high density inside crystals or photopolymers. The ability to store large amounts of information in some kind of medium is of great importance, as many electronic products incorporate storage devices. As current storage techniques such as [[Blu-ray Disc]] reach the limit of possible data density (due to the diffraction-limited size of the writing beams), holographic storage has the potential to become the next generation of popular storage media. The advantage of this type of data storage is that the volume of the recording media is used instead of just the surface. [118] => Currently available [[spatial light modulator|SLMs]] can produce about 1000 different images a second at 1024×1024-bit resolution which would result in about one-[[gigabit per second|gigabit-per-second]] writing speed.{{Cite journal |last1=Lang |first1=M. |last2=Eschler |first2=H. |date=1974-10-01 |title=Gigabyte capacities for holographic memories |url=https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/0030-3992%2874%2990061-9 |journal=Optics & Laser Technology |language=en |volume=6 |issue=5 |pages=219–224 |doi=10.1016/0030-3992(74)90061-9 |bibcode=1974OptLT...6..219L |issn=0030-3992}} [119] => [120] => In 2005, companies such as Optware and [[Maxell]] produced a 120 mm disc that uses a holographic layer to store data to a potential 3.9 [[terabyte|TB]], a format called [[Holographic Versatile Disc]]. As of September 2014, no commercial product has been released. [121] => [122] => Another company, [[InPhase Technologies]], was developing a competing format, but went bankrupt in 2011 and all its assets were sold to Akonia Holographics, LLC. [123] => [124] => While many holographic data storage models have used "page-based" storage, where each recorded hologram holds a large amount of data, more recent research into using submicrometre-sized "microholograms" has resulted in several potential [[3D optical data storage]] solutions. While this approach to data storage can not attain the high data rates of page-based storage, the tolerances, technological hurdles, and cost of producing a commercial product are significantly lower. [125] => [126] => ===Dynamic holography=== [127] => In static holography, recording, developing and reconstructing occur sequentially, and a permanent hologram is produced. [128] => [129] => There also exist holographic materials that do not need the developing process and can record a hologram in a very short time. This allows one to use holography to perform some simple operations in an all-optical way. Examples of applications of such real-time holograms include [[phase-conjugate mirror]]s ("time-reversal" of light), optical cache memories, [[image processing]] (pattern recognition of time-varying images), and [[optical computing]]. [130] => [131] => The amount of processed information can be very high (terabits/s), since the operation is performed in parallel on a whole image. This compensates for the fact that the recording time, which is in the order of a [[microsecond]], is still very long compared to the processing time of an electronic computer. The optical processing performed by a dynamic hologram is also much less flexible than electronic processing. On one side, one has to perform the operation always on the whole image, and on the other side, the operation a hologram can perform is basically either a multiplication or a phase conjugation. In optics, addition and [[Fourier transform]] are already easily performed in linear materials, the latter simply by a lens. This enables some applications, such as a device that compares images in an optical way.R. Ryf et al. [http://ol.osa.org/abstract.cfm?id=65530 High-frame-rate joint Fourier-transform correlator based on Sn2P2S6 crystal], Optics Letters '''26''', 1666–1668 (2001) [132] => [133] => The search for novel [[:Category:Nonlinear optical materials|nonlinear optical materials]] for dynamic holography is an active area of research. The most common materials are [[photorefraction|photorefractive crystals]], but in [[semiconductor]]s or [[Heterojunction|semiconductor heterostructures]] (such as [[quantum well]]s), atomic vapors and gases, [[plasma (physics)|plasmas]] and even liquids, it was possible to generate holograms. [134] => [135] => A particularly promising application is [[optical phase conjugation]]. It allows the removal of the wavefront distortions a light beam receives when passing through an aberrating medium, by sending it back through the same aberrating medium with a conjugated phase. This is useful, for example, in free-space optical communications to compensate for atmospheric turbulence (the phenomenon that gives rise to the twinkling of starlight). [136] => [137] => ===Hobbyist use=== [138] => [[File:Contest3.jpg|thumb|''Peace Within Reach'', a Denisyuk DCG hologram by amateur Dave Battin]] [139] => [140] => Since the beginning of holography, many holographers have explored its uses and displayed them to the public. [141] => [142] => In 1971, [[Lloyd Cross]] opened the San Francisco School of Holography and taught amateurs how to make holograms using only a small (typically 5 mW) [[helium-neon laser]] and inexpensive home-made equipment. Holography had been supposed to require a very expensive metal [[optical table]] set-up to lock all the involved elements down in place and damp any vibrations that could blur the interference fringes and ruin the hologram. Cross's home-brew alternative was a [[sandpit|sandbox]] made of a [[cinder block]] retaining wall on a plywood base, supported on stacks of old tires to isolate it from ground vibrations, and filled with sand that had been washed to remove dust. The laser was securely mounted atop the cinder block wall. The mirrors and simple lenses needed for directing, splitting and expanding the laser beam were affixed to short lengths of PVC pipe, which were stuck into the sand at the desired locations. The subject and the [[photographic plate]] holder were similarly supported within the sandbox. The holographer turned off the room light, blocked the laser beam near its source using a small [[relay]]-controlled shutter, loaded a plate into the holder in the dark, left the room, waited a few minutes to let everything settle, then made the exposure by remotely operating the laser shutter. [143] => [144] => In 1979, [[Jason Sapan]] opened the [[Holographic Studios]] in [[New York City]]. Since then, they have been involved in the production of many holographs for many artists as well as companies.{{cite news | url=https://www.thedailybeast.com/new-yorks-hologram-king-is-also-the-citys-last-pro-holographer | title=New York's Hologram King is Also the City's Last Pro Holographer | newspaper=The Daily Beast | date=27 May 2014 | last1=Strochlic | first1=Nina }} Sapan has been described as the "last professional holographer of New York". [145] => [146] => Many of these holographers would go on to produce art holograms. In 1983, Fred Unterseher, a co-founder of the San Francisco School of Holography and a well-known holographic artist, published the ''Holography Handbook'', an easy-to-read guide to making holograms at home. This brought in a new wave of holographers and provided simple methods for using the then-available AGFA [[silver halide]] recording materials. [147] => [148] => In 2000, [[Frank DeFreitas]] published the ''Shoebox Holography Book'' and introduced the use of inexpensive [[laser pointer]]s to countless [[hobby]]ists. For many years, it had been assumed that certain characteristics of semiconductor [[laser diodes]] made them virtually useless for creating holograms, but when they were eventually put to the test of practical experiment, it was found that not only was this untrue, but that some actually provided a [[coherence length]] much greater than that of traditional helium-neon gas lasers. This was a very important development for amateurs, as the price of red laser diodes had dropped from hundreds of dollars in the early 1980s to about $5 after they entered the mass market as a component of [[DVD]] players in the late 1990s. Now, there are thousands of amateur holographers worldwide. [149] => [150] => By late 2000, holography kits with inexpensive laser pointer diodes entered the mainstream consumer market. These kits enabled students, teachers, and hobbyists to make several kinds of holograms without specialized equipment, and became popular gift items by 2005.Stephen Cass: ''[https://spectrum.ieee.org/consumer-electronics/gaming/holiday-gifts-2005 Holiday Gifts 2005 Gifts and gadgets for technophiles of all ages: Do-It Yourself-3-D]''. In ''IEEE Spectrum'', November 2005 The introduction of holography kits with self-developing [[photographic plate|plates]] in 2003 made it possible for hobbyists to create holograms without the bother of wet chemical processing.Chiaverina, Chris: ''[http://www.litiholo.com/Hologram%20Kit%20article%20Physics%20Teacher%20Nov%202010.pdf Litiholo holography – So easy even a caveman could have done it (apparatus review)] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120208030253/http://www.litiholo.com/Hologram%20Kit%20article%20Physics%20Teacher%20Nov%202010.pdf |date=8 February 2012 }}''.

[151] => [152] => In 2006, a large number of surplus holography-quality green lasers (Coherent C315) became available and put dichromated gelatin (DCG) holography within the reach of the amateur holographer. The holography community was surprised at the amazing sensitivity of DCG to green light. It had been assumed that this sensitivity would be uselessly slight or non-existent. Jeff Blyth responded with the G307 formulation of DCG to increase the speed and sensitivity to these new lasers.{{cite web |url=http://www.holowiki.com/index.php/G307_DCG_Formula |title=A Holography FAQ |publisher=HoloWiki |date=2011-02-15 |access-date=2012-04-21 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101106135632/http://www.holowiki.com/index.php/G307_DCG_Formula |archive-date=6 November 2010}} [153] => [154] => Kodak and Agfa, the former major suppliers of holography-quality silver halide plates and films, are no longer in the market. While other manufacturers have helped fill the void, many amateurs are now making their own materials. The favorite formulations are dichromated gelatin, Methylene-Blue-sensitised dichromated gelatin, and diffusion method silver halide preparations.

Holography

Holography is a technique that enables the creation of three-dimensional images using light. It was invented by physicist Dennis Gabor in 1947, based on the principle of interference of light waves.

More about us

About

It was invented by physicist Dennis Gabor in 1947, based on the principle of interference of light waves. Holography differs from traditional photography as it captures both the intensity and phase of light, resulting in a more realistic representation of objects. The process of creating a hologram involves splitting a laser beam into two parts: the object beam, which illuminates the object being recorded, and the reference beam, which forms a reference wave. When the object and reference beams are recombined, they interfere with each other, creating a unique pattern known as an interference pattern. This pattern is recorded on a light-sensitive medium, such as photographic film or a digital sensor. To view a hologram, a coherent light source, such as a laser, is used to illuminate the recorded interference pattern. As the light passes through or reflects off the hologram, it reconstructs the original wavefronts, resulting in a three-dimensional image that can be observed without the need for special glasses or goggles. This creates the illusion of depth, allowing the viewer to move around and see different perspectives of the object. Holography has found numerous applications in various fields, including art, entertainment, scientific research, and security. It has revolutionized the field of microscopy, enabling the visualization of small biological specimens in three dimensions. In the entertainment industry, holograms have been used to create lifelike virtual performers and immersive experiences. Holograms also provide enhanced security features, as they are difficult to counterfeit or replicate. Despite its many applications, holography still faces several challenges. The production of high-quality holograms requires sophisticated equipment and precise alignment of optical components. Additionally, the development of practical and cost-effective holographic displays for everyday use remains a topic of ongoing research. Overall, holography has revolutionized visual imaging and holds great potential for future advancements in various fields. Its ability to create realistic and interactive three-dimensional images has captivated researchers, artists, and audiences worldwide.
