What is holography
 Holography is a technique that allows the light scattered from an
object to be recorded and later reconstructed.
 The technique to optically store, retrieve, and process
information.
 Preserve the 3-D information of a holographed subject

 Why 4

holographic
A high resolution three dimensional
display recording of an object
 Glasses free 3D display
 No need for projection screen
 Life like images
 Interactive display

Types of
A. Reflex hologram
Holograms  Illuminated by a spot of white
incandescent light source, from
front-above
 The image consists of light
reflected by the hologram
 Produces multicolour
holograms, makes images
optically indistinguishable from
the original objects

B.Transmission hologram
 Viewed with laser light, usually of
the same type used to make the
recording
 Need light source behind them
 Virtual image can be very sharp and
deep
C.Computer-generated holograms
 No need for a real object
 Interference pattern is calculated
digitally, using algorithms

 How 8

holograms
The time-varying light field of a
work scene with all its physical
properties is to be recorded and
then regenerated.
 Hence the working of
holography is divided into two
phases:
• Recording
• Reconstruction

Recording of
hologram
 Basic tools required to make a
hologram includes a red lasers,
lenses, beam splitter, mirrors
and holographic film
 Holograms are recorded in
darker environment

• Laser : Red lasers, usually helium-neon (HeNe) lasers, are common in

holography. These are coherent light source.
• Beam splitter: This is a device that uses mirrors and prisms to split
laser beam of light into two beams.
 Object beam (directed onto the object) and
 Reference beam (travels directly onto the recording medium)

• Mirrors: These direct the beams of light to the correct locations

• Holographic film: Holographic film can record light at a very
high resolution, which is necessary for creating a hologram. It's a
layer of light-sensitive compounds on a transparent surface, like
photographic film.
Eg: Silver Halide Emulsion

Process
 When the two laser beams reach the recording medium, their light
waves intersect and interfere with each other. It is this interference
pattern that is imprinted on the recording medium.

Reconstruction of
hologram
 The photographic plate is
illuminated with original light
source used for recording
holograms.

Capturing of
holographic
video  By replacing the
conventional holographic
plate with a digital camera
and an optoelectronic 2D
screen, we can capture and
display holographic video.

Projection of
holographic
video
 Video hologram is coded into
light modulators
 These light modulators are
illuminated by coherent light
beam source, to project video

Conclusion
 Holographic Technology and
Spectral Imagining has endless
applications, as far as the human
mind can imagine
 In future, holographic displays
will be replacing all present
displays in all sizes, from small
phone screen to large projectors
