Holography is the science and practice of making holograms. Typically, a hologram is a photographic recording of a light field, rather than of an image formed by a lens, and it is used to display a fully three-dimensional image of the holographed subject, which is seen without the aid of special glasses or other intermediate optics.
2. 2
What is Holography
• Holography is a technique that allows the light
scattered from an object to be recorded and later
reconstructed.
• Preserve the 3-D information of a holographed
subject
• The technique of holography can also be used to
optically store, retrieve, and process information

Dennis Gabor - Father of
Holography and Holographic
Technologies
Dennis wrote a paper in 1948
that has become the
foundation of modern
Holography.
The most interesting thing
about all this is that laser light
had not even been invented
yet, when he wrote his paper.
HISTORY
4. 4
• A high resolution three
dimensional recording of
an object
• Glasses free 3D display
• No need for projection
screen
• Life like images
• Interactive display
Why holographic display
6. A. Reflex hologram
– 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
Types of Holograms
7. 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
9. How holograms works
The time-varying light field of a
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
11. 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
12. • 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)
13. • 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
16. 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.

18. Applications
& Future scope
• Educational applications
• Marketing with 3D holographic
display
• 3D simulation displays for
scientific visualization
• Improved virtual Reality and
augmented reality
• Telepresence and video
conferencing
• Entertainment displays
• Military and Space Applications
19. • Holographic checkpoint
for military, battlefield
simulations
• Intense real gaming rooms
• In future all displays like
televisions, mobile phone
displays, projector displays
will be replaced by
holographic displays
20. 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
