  1. Lecture-7Holography: • Theory Developed in 1947 by scientist Dennis Gabor winning the Nobel Prize in 1971 • Word Origin : Hologram is from the Greek word holos, meaning whole and gramma means writing.

  2. What’s holography? Holography is the process or technique of making three-dimensional image of the object. A hologram is produced by the interaction of two beams of laser light , one is the object beam coming through the object and another is the reference beam coming directly from the source.

  3. Principle of Holography • During the recording process, object wave (wave illuminating the object) and the reference wave (coming directly from source) interfere in the plane of the recording medium and produce interference fringes. This photographic plate carrying the interference pattern is called Hologram. • The interference fringes contain all the information about the intensity and the phase of the scattered beam from object. • In the reconstruction process, the hologram acts as diffraction grating. This is illuminated by a wave called the reconstruction wave (in most cases this similar to the reference wave used for recording the hologram) and the image of the object is reconstructed from the hologram.

  4. Construction of Holograms • Need a laser (highly coherent and monochromatic light), lenses, mirror, photographic film, and an object • Beam splitter separates the laser light into two beams, reference beam and object beam • Reference beam aimed at a piece of holographic film by mirrors. • Object beam directed at object to be recorded to illuminate object and then meets reference beam at film. • Produces interference pattern of object beam and reference beam which is recorded. • Film is developed. This is called as hologram. • This hologram contains all the informations about the intensity and phases of the scattered waves from the object.

  6. Reconstruction of an image from Hologram • To view the image, the hologram is again illuminated with another laser beam called the reconstruction beam which is at same angle as reference beam. • Hologram acts as a diffraction grating. • This form a real image in front of the hologram and a virtual image behind the hologram. • The virtual image has all the characteristic of the object. The real image can be photographed directly without using a lens.

  8. Hololography vs. Photography • Photography is 2D record of a 3D object whereas holography gives a three dimensional form of original object. If any object is hidden just behind another object then the observer can see the hidden object in viewing the hologram. • Hologram is the positive pattern whereas in conventional photography negative pattern is produced. • In ordinary photography each region contains separate and individual part of the original object. Destruction of a portion of a negative leads to an irrepairable loss of information corresponding to the destroyed part. On the other hand, each part of a hologram contains information about the entire object. Destruction of a part of hologram does not cause a loss of information about the object, each separate fragment is capable of producing image with a reduced clarity.

  9. Hololography vs. Photography (contd) • The information holding capacity of a hologram is extremely high by recording several images of the object whereas in ordinary photography a photofilm cannot be used to record several images.

  10. Applications of Holography • Holographic interferometry • Holographic microscopes and radars • Supermarket scanners • Optical Computers , holographic television • Improve design of aircraft wings and turbine blades, holographic lens in aircraft head-up display • Data storage • Art • Medical applications or biomedicine
