holography is a method of producing a visual three-dimensions (3-D) image of an object by means of light wave patterns recorded on a photographic plate
2. WHATISHOLOGRAPHY?
‘Holography’means the ‘science of producing holograms’.
“It is an advanced form of photography that allows an image to be
recorded in three dimensions.
“holography is a method of producing a visual three-dimensions
(3-D) image of an object by means of light wave patterns recorded
on a photographic plate”.
It is known as lens-less photography and produces life like images.
Holography techniques was invented by scientist ‘DENNIS
GABOR’
3. HOLOGRAMANDITSPROPERTIES:
“HOLOGRAM” is a photograph of an interference pattern which ,
when suitably illuminated by laser light, produces a 3D image.
PROPERTIES OF HOLOGRAM:
a. If you look at the holograms from different angles , you will see
objects from different perspectives , just like if you were looking at
a real object.
b. It shows divisible property i.e if you cut one in half , each half
contains whole views of the entire holographic image
4. WORKING OF HOLOGRAPHY
Laser light : usually helium – neon (He-Ne) laser is used in hologram.
Beam splitter is the device that uses mirrors and prisms to split laser
beam into two beams :
• Object beam
• Reference beam
Mirrors directs the beams of light to correct locations.
Holographic film records images at very high resolution.
It can be seen through naked eye.
Image floats in free space.
6. OPTICALCOMPUTERS
• Optical computers will use holograms as “circuit elements”.
Biomedicalapplications
• Holograms are made inside live organs through optical
fibers, providing more details than any previous alternate
techniques.
Compactdiscs
• Compact discs players use holograms to handle light.
GROCERYSTORE
• Grocery store scanners use spinning holograms.
7. HOLOGRAPHICINTERFEROMETRY
• Holographic interferometry is used in numerous laboratories
for non-destructive testing.
HOLOGRAPHICSCANNERS
• Holographic scanners are used in store check-out counters for
reading the bar codes.
HOLOSTORE
• HOLOSTORE is a holographic computer memory system being
manufactured to replace your disc drive.
There are many other applications like video gaming live
room and it is also used for educational purposes.
8. ADVANTAGESANDDISADVANTAGESOFHOLOGRAPHY
ADVANTAGES
COST EFFECTIVE.
HIGHER STORAGE CAPACITY.
INCREASED FEASIBILITY OF
OBJECT (DEPTH).
ENABLES THE ACHIEVEMENT OF
MULTIPLE IMAGE ON A SINGLE
PLATE AND GIVE 3-D IMAGES.
ABILITY TO COMBINE WITH
OTHER TECHNOLOGIES.
DISADVANTAGES
PROVIDE STATIC IMAGES.
DOESN’T PRODUCE
IMAGES OF COMPLEX
MOVEMENT.
REQUIRES COMPLICATED
PRECISE MACHINERY TO
PRODUCE AND VIEW
IMAGE.
REFERENCE ILLUMINATION
BEAMS ARE COLLINEAR.
9. CONCLUSION
• Holographic technology has endless applications
as far as the human mind can imagine.
• Holographic technologies are not just about art or
business communication, they are more about
safety ,security , education, planning and the
strength of our civilization here and beyond .
• Holographic technology will became a very integral
part of human societies and civilizations in future.
