Holography 1948: Dennis Gabor proposes lensless imaging: wavefront reconstruction. Calls it total recording or Holo gram Concept: record and recreate wavefront incident on film. Amplitude & Phase How is that different than photography? How is it accomplished? Inclusion of a reference wave, record the interference, capture the phase.
Holography Invented in 1948 by Dennis Gabor for use in electron microscopy, before the invention of the laser Leith and Upatnieks (1962) applied laser light to holography and introduced an important off-axis technique
History Continued In 1962 Emmett Leith and Juris Upatnieks realized that holography could be used as a 3-D visual medium From their work, they used a laser to create the first hologram in history, that of a toy train and bird This type of hologram required laser light to be viewed, though.
White Light and High Speed Objects In 1962 Dr. Uri Denisyuk of the former U.S.S.R. developed a white light reflection hologram, which could be viewed in light from a normal incandescent bulb. In 1960, with the invention of the pulsedruby laser, holograms of high speed objects was made possible
Conventional vs. Holographic photography Conventional: 2-d version of a 3-d scene: irradiance map Photograph lacks depth perception or parallax Film sensitive only to radiant energy Phase relation (i.e. interference) are lost
Conventional vs. Holographic photography Hologram: Freezes the intricate wavefront of light that carries all the visual information of the scene To view a hologram, the wavefront is reconstructed View what we would have seen if present at the original scene through the window defined by the hologram Provides depth perception and parallax
Conventional vs. Holographic photography Hologram: Converts phase information into amplitude information (in-phase - maximum amplitude, out-ofphase minimum amplitude) Interfere wavefront of light from a scene with a reference wave The hologram is a complex interference pattern of microscopically spaced fringes holos Greek for whole message

Hologram reconstruction When illuminated by a coherent wave, A(x,y), known as the reconstruction wave, the optical field emerging from the transparency is, A( x, y) t p t b A BOO * A BO * RA BOR * A i.e. a superposition of 4 waves If A(x,y)=R(x,y), i.e. reconstruction and reference waves are identical, R( x, y) t p ( t b BOO * ) R BR 2 O * B R 2 O

Hologram : Direct, object and conjugate waves Direct wave: corresponds to zeroth order grating diffraction pattern Object wave: gives virtual image of the object (reconstructs object wavefront) first order diffraction Conjugate wave: conjugate point, real image (not useful since image is inside-out due to negative phase angle) first order diffraction In general, we wish to view only the object wave the other waves just confuse the issue
Off-axis- Direct, object and conjugate waves Use an off-axis system to record the hologram, ensuring separation of the three waves on reconstruction Reference wave Object wave Direct wave Virtual image Conjugate wave Real image
Holography
Hologram Playback Images are formed when light is projected through the hologram. The observer sees a virtual image formed behind the hologram.
Hologram and images
Sum of the Parts? Every part of a hologram contains the image of the whole object. You can cut off the corner of a hologram and see the entire image through it. For every viewing angle you see the image in a different perspective, as you would a real object. Each piece of a hologram contains a particular perspective of the image, but it includes the entire object. The top image is the view through the larger part of the hologram, while the bottom image is through a small corner cut off the hologram. The view through the small corner is from a particular point of view, but contains the whole object.
Hologram: Wavelength With a different color, the virtual image will appear at a different angle (i.e. as a grating, the hologram disperses light of different wavelengths at different angles) Volume hologram: emulsion thickness >> fringe spacing Can be used to reproduce images in their original color when illuminated by white light. Use multiple exposures of scene in three primary colors (R,G,B)
Hologram Reflection vs. Transmission Transmission hologram: reference and object waves traverse the film from the same side Reflection hologram: reference and object waves traverse the emulsion from opposite sides View in Transmission View in reflection
