The article is a tribute to Professor Emmett Leith, a pioneer in the development of 3D holography. It discusses his early work developing holographic synthetic aperture radar at Willow Run Laboratories in the 1950s. In the early 1960s, Leith and Juris Upatnieks invented off-axis holography, which eliminated the twin image problem and allowed them to create the first holograms of three-dimensional objects using diffuse illumination. Leith made many fundamental contributions to holography and optical signal processing over his career and received numerous honors, including the National Medal of Science. He supervised many graduate students and helped establish the University of Michigan as a leader in holographic

2. Tribute The Holography Times Prof. Emmett Leith
The Man behind 3D Holography
Emmett Leith is recognized today as one of a handful of key innovators in the subject that
became holography. He can be remembered for distinct accomplishments and
attributes. During the 1950s, Leith played a crucial role in synthesizing a new subject
from previously quite separate ones. During the early 1960s he dramatically extended
the possibilities of wave front reconstruction and, with equal modesty, publicized them.
His ideas and competence inspired a generation of colleagues at Willow Run
Laboratories, many of whom went on to contribute to the modern subject, art and
business of holography, and he displayed an uncommon coherence in his own
intellectual interests, although his own career mutated from classified work, to
popularization, and to an academic role. Emmett Leith a scientist who took the concept
of the hologram and added technology of the laser to create three-dimensional
photography. Professor Leith and his co-worker Juris Upatnieks invented the three-dimensional

holography. Dr. Leith received the National Medal of Science for his
research from President Jimmy Carter in 1979. Holography Times second issue is a
tribute to Professor Emmett Leith a pioneer in the development of3Dholography.
02 www.homai.org (1927-2005)
mmett was born in Detroit,
EMichigan, on March 12, 1927,
and received all three of his
degrees, B.S.,M.S. and Ph.D. in physics,
from Wayne State University, in 1949,
1952, and 1978, respectively. He spent
his entire 50-year professional career at
theUniversity of Michigan. He was first
employed as a research assistant
(1952–1956) and then promoted to a
research associate (1956–1960) at
Willow Run Laboratories (WRL). In
1960, his research group at WRL was
moved to the University of Michigan
Institute of Science and Technology
where he became a research engineer.
He was appointed an associate professor
of electrical engineering in 1965 and
promoted to full professor in 1968.
Emmett’s seminal contributions to
synthetic-aperture radar (SAR), optical
signal processing, and holography, were
made mostly during a 12-year period
from 1952 to 1964. In 1951, C.Wiley of
the Goodyear Corporation had
suggested that data collected from a
small moving antenna could be used to
synthesize a receiving antenna with a
much larger effective aperture, thus
increasing its spatial resolution.
Because of the large amount of data
collected from these radars, known as
SARs, neither data storage nor
subsequent signal processing could be
performed with the electronic
equipment available at the time.
Cutrona andVivian atWRL(following a
discussion with Russel Varian)
conceived the idea of the optical
processing of SAR data that had been
stored on film.
Beginning in 1954, Emmett worked with
Cutrona and Vivian to investigate optical
processing using incoherent light. In
1955, he and Porcello spent several
months studying optical
correlators forSARprocessing
based on both incoherent and
coherent light. Between
October 1955 and April 1956,
Emmett recast the theory of a
coherent optical correlator in
t e r m s o f wa v e - f r o n t
reconstruction, basically a
holographic approach.
Emmett considered this his
most significantwork.
Optical Processor atWillow Run (C. 1960)
At the time Emmett was working on
radar, the material was classified, so the
details did not begin to appear in the
open literature until the mid-1960s.
Emmett’s holographic SAR theory,
along with an analysis of the technique,
appeared as an internal WRL memo
dated May 22, 1956. Five months later,
Emmett became aware of earlier work
by Dennis Gabor on wave-front
reconstruction for use in electron
microscopy, for which Gabor was later
awarded the Nobel Prize (1971).
Emmett described his reaction to
discoveringGabor’s work:
“My feelings
were mixed; there was some
disappointment that the principles of
wave-front reconstruction had already
been invented, although in a wholly
different context. This feeling was
balanced with the knowledge that the
concept of wave-front reconstruction
was significant enough to have been
published in the scientific literature.”
Emmett’s idea for SAR processing based
on wave-front reconstruction had initially
been met with indifference from the SAR
community and had languished for about
two years after it was developed. In 1957,
WRL used optical processing to produce
the first high-qualitySARimages, and, by
1 9 5 9 , Emmett’s wa v e - f r o n t -
reconstruction formulation had become
the dominant method of optical
processing ofSARdata.
Emmett subsequently suggested many
important modifications to the basic

3. The Holography Times Tribute
optical-processingschemethat led tomajor
improvements in radar performance.
These modifications included
simultaneous pulse compression and beam
sharpening and the introduction (with
Kozma and Massey) of a tilted-plane
optical processor. The processing of SAR
data by optical means remained the
mainstay of the radar community until well
into the 1980s when advances in electronic
computing became available. Gabor’s
concept of wave-front reconstruction had
a number of serious deficiencies. In
particular, i t only worked for
reconstructing transparencies, and even
then the quality of the reconstruction was
limited by the presence of overlapping
twin images. Between 1956 and 1960,
Emmett pondered the solution to the twin-image
problem even as he continued to
workonSAR.
When Juris Upatnieks joined the Radar
and Optics Group at the University of
Michigan in 1960, he and Emmett began
working together on the twin-image
problem, which, based on their
experience with SAR, they recognized as
a problem of aliasing. They developed
the off-axis approach to obviate the twin-image
problem and explained their
method in terms of communication
theory—AM carrier modulation,
frequency spectrum, side-band filtering,
etc. They demonstrated their off-axis
technique by making high-quality
holograms of grey-scale transparencies.
Late in 1963, Emmett and Upatnieks
introduced the technique of diffuse
illumination to demonstrate the first
high-quality holograms of three-dimensional
objects. In Emmett’s own
words:
“We…found that the images
formed from such holograms
produced startling images, fully 3-D,
without the need for viewing with
special glasses, and had all of the
usual properties of actual objects,
including full parallax. One could
move one’s head and peer ehind
obscuring structures to see what
was hidden behind, just as if one
were viewing the actual objects.”
When they presented their results
publicly at theAnnual Optical Society
of America Meeting in the spring of
1964, they created quite a sensation.
Emmett Leith was elected to the
National Academy of Engineering in
1982. In addition to this honor, he
received many awards, including the
National Medal of Science (1979), the
IEEE Morris Liebmann Memorial
Award (1968), the Stuart Ballantine
Medal of the Franklin Institute (1969),
the R.W. Wood Prize of the Optical
Society of America (1975), the Frederic
Ives Medal of the Optical Society of
America (1985), and the Gold Medal of
the SPIE (1990). Emmett supervised the
research of 43 Ph.D. students at
Michigan, and he regularly taught a
variety of courses on basic optics and
optical signal processing.
Emmett’s work on SAR and
holography had an enormous
technical impact and was a major
driving force in shaping the field of
optical signal processing. In addition
to his educational and scientific
contributions, his work spurred many
commercial applications that now
comprise a multi-billion dollar
industry. Emmett, a humble individual
by nature, loved his work and
remained active in his field until the
time of his death.

4. Face to Face The Holography Times
Interview with
04 www.homai.org How was Hologram Industries
established?
What were the problems you faced
in your earlier stage and how you
overcome them?
What are the key features that
make HI so successful?
We also invest in communicating
with our customers, trying to
explain what we are doing, why we
are doing is the interesting & why
it is secure?
Security, Innovation and Quality!
What are the milestones achieved
by Hologram Industries in last 23
years?
“HOLOGRAM INDUSTRIES”
Well this is a long story. I started
Hologram Industries in 1984. That
was my second hologram company. I
created the first hologram company in
1981. The name of the first company
was Media Laser. Media Laser was
dedicated to silver-halide hologram.
But at that time the market was little
bit difficult so I have to stop it as we
are not making any revenue out of the
silver halide hologram. Then I stop
holography for two years from 1982 to
1984. In 1984 I created Hologram
Industries with the goal to make both
silver halide hologram and embossed
holograms. Our first two year of
activities was focus only on display
hologram. Then we make silver halide
hologram up to 1mmsquare.We make
hologram, stereogram, animated
stereogram and whatever, slowly by
slowly we went into embossing and in
1989 we began to work into security
business. From 1993 we stop making
display holography because of that
time the communicating business was
slowing down. So I decided in 1993 to
concentrate on security & since then
Hologram Industries is totally focused
on security.
Lot's of problems of course.
Obviously technological problems
in the beginning of 80's, when I
started holography you could not
buy any technology. You have to
develop everything yourself. I was
myself in the holographic lab
developing the holographic table,
all the process starting from
scratch. Even after when I begin in
embossed holography we have to
develop our own technology.
Obviously it was difficult from
financial side, as I am not from a
rich family. I had no much money
to invest. So I had to start with very
little money. Again we had to
develop lot of things ourselves also
because we don't have money to
buy. The third was commercial. At
the beginning holograms were not
very well known and it was never
the case customer came himself.
Always we had to go see the
Prospects customers and inform
them about the hologram. Nobody
was that time known what the
hologram is and sometimes they
were not heard the name of
hologram. So it was some difficult
period. Also because I was at that
time, now we have the company
which is larger because I could
start with really nothing. Now days
i t is more difficult to start
holography with nothing.
I think we always try to do our best.
We always invested a lot in R & D.
Basically I think that innovation &
quality are the two key elements,
and also now I can say Innovation,
Quality & Security are the three
elements as we are also operating in
very secure environment. We
always have been extremely careful
about the security of our premises &
the security of the procedures.
First it was the beginning of
in
1984. After i t was the fi r s t
involvement in to security in 1989,
then the decision to concentrate all
our activities on security in 1993.
Then in 1998 we put the company
public & then in the same year we
w e r e a l s o s e l e c t e d b y t h e
EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK
AGENCY for the origination of the
Euro bank note. This was the first
significant recognition of the
technology that we had developed.
And then in 2003 when we began to
market the DID® feature which of
course is a great technology. So far
we are the only company offering the
very high security feature like this.
Mr. Hugues Souparis
Mr. Hugues SOUPARIS is among one of few person who started holography in his early
days, when world wide people are not familiar with the technology. An Engineer from
academics he founded Hologram Industries in 1984. He is a founder member & Past
President of IHMA. Today Hologram Industries is recognized world wide for its expertise
in high-security optical components. For more than 20 years Hologram. Industries have
produced security components among the most resistant to counterfeiting. Their products
are used to protect banknotes such as the Euro, passports in several countries (France,
Egypt, Brazil, etc.) and prestigious brand names such as Cartier, Hennessy, Schneider
and Eli Lilly.

5. The Holography Times Face to Face
DID®- DID is a one-of-its-kind optical security element, very easily identifiable with the naked eye. It
reproduces a design made up of two distinct colored elements made visible by direct reflection of light, and
whose colors are inverted when it is rotated 90° in the plane. It is a zero-order optical microstructure
combined with thin films.DID®elements are machine-readable and extremely difficult to copy.
What do you think about the role of
IHMAin promoting the holography?
IHMA did play a great role, not
directly in promoting holography
because it is a too smaller organization
to be capable to promote that
technology worldwide. Nevertheless
IHMA was very instrumental.
Ian
(General Secretary of IHMA)
bringing together on the international
level all the technical and commercial
actor of holography and I thinks that it
was extremely successful in giving to
our industry some ethics, giving our
industry some standard (not technical
standard), but of course standard of
behaviours. It is because of IHMAthat
worldwide companies are known to
each other.
I think in a young
industry like holography it has
been extremely interesting to bring
from beginning all the people
together and have a common
understanding of what we have in
hand, what we can do and how we
have to perfect in order to keep this
technology the attitude of high tech
and secure technology.
Howdo you see the Indian market and
hologramcompanies developing?
around without a good structure &
organization. I think India is an
example for quite a lot of world in
holography. I think that HoMAI is a
very stronger organization.
What do you think that Indian
companies need to do be successful
in European Market?
What are the new developments
Holograms Industries doing and
the future plans for next five years?
We have lot of development in pipe.
I cannot reveal the development
before they are launched obviously.
We are developing both in ID side
and in Brand Protection. We are
developing new products, very
different that industry has not seen
so far. . So we have complete new
generation of product under
development which we will launch
in 2 & 3 years. We are spending lot
m o r e m o n e y i n R & D .
HOLOGRAM INDUSTRIES was
always known for R & D. From this
year we are doubling it before
it was.
What is your budget forR&D?
My budget for R & D is 7 % of my
turnover. Now we have increased the
budget to 15 % because turnover is
increasing higher but definitely it
will be 10%of budget.
As a global leader in holography
where do you think the future of
holography?
I know little bit of market about
India. I visited to India several times
for my own business. When I was the
president of IHMA, often I have to
meet a lot of Indian companies. I
think that the Holography industry in
India is very strong and well
organized. Several Indian companies
are capable of doing quality business
& they are concern about the interest
of the technology for India. India did
very well. I think again the fact that
HoMAI presence in India brings to
Indian industry much better organize
&much safer organization.
Like for example; in china where
there is no such organization and
there all companies are working all
Well that I will not tell you
(Laughing). I don't want to have too
many Indian companies coming to
compete with us in Europe. I think
that not specific to Europe, it's
specific to be in Industry general.
India companies have to be very
much oriented in quality. Obviously
it was the first attempt that we are
seeing from Indian companies to
attack the European Market. I do not
believe this will be very successful,
because what European market is
requiring (I am talking only about
security market) very high security
product and the future will be on
products which are really bringing
very high security. If people are only
selling regular metallised animated
hologram, t h i s w i l l be n o t
considering any more as high
security product. The Optical
technology can bring much more.
What I am seeing from in India so far is
mainly Industry leader in India, they
know how to make embossed
hologram, how to number it etc. So far I
have not seen any developments in R &
D in Indian those companies in optical
technology. Most of the origination in
India is using standard equipments,
either dot-matrix or other type of table
top equipments or the e-beam Master is
purchasing from outside. Its very
standard holography and I did not
believe that this type of holography has
a chance to be successful in rest of the
world, because more and more security
devices will be sophisticated than
purely hologram labels.
As I said the future of holography is
without hologram. I well be very
more precise and proactive. If we
look at the hologram it is a metallic
rainbow and I believe that this is not
enough secure, any one can make
hologram with little effort. I
believe that there is a lot of future in
optical security for overt, semi
covert and overt technology but I
believe that there i s l o t of
innovation to make, to come in order
to maintain our industry, which is
not for me real holography but
optical security. I think that going
in that direction Optical security
without restricting themselves to
holography is successful.

hologram technology. The new "smart"
holograms, which can detect changes
in, for example, blood-glucose levels,
should make self-diagnosis much
simpler, cheaper and more reliable,
write ChrisLoweand Cynthia Larbey in
February'sPhysicsWorld.
Ahologram is a recording of an optical
interference pattern created when laser
light shone on an object is made to
overlap with a separate beam of light
that does not pass through the object.
When light is shone onto the
interference pattern, a 3D image of the
original object is recreated.
Traditional holograms, like those on
your credit card, are stored on photo-sensitive
materials and remain
unchanged with time.
however, use materials
called hydrogels that shrink or swell in
response to local environmental
conditions. Such holograms can
therefore be used as sensors to detect
chemical imbalances in potentially
fatal situations.
Smart Holograms, a spin-out company
from the Institute of Biotechnology at
Cambridge University, has already
developed a hand-held syringe to
measure water content in aviation fuel
tanks necessary because aeroplane
engines are liable to freeze mid-air if
there is more than 30 parts water to
million fuel.
The same ability to detect chemical
imbalances could be used by diabetics to
check their blood-sugar levels; by
patients with kidney disorders to check
on adrenaline levels; by security forces
to detect chemicals like anthrax after a
terrorist attack; or, less urgently but with
wide applicability, by glazing firms to
detect whether water has crept in
between window panes, something that

2 Smart holography
In a “smart” hologram, the interference pattern is stored in a material the
properties of which change in response to certain environmentalconditions,
thereby altering the properties of the interference pattern and thus the
appearance of the hologram itself. An electron microscopeimage (left) shows a
hologram of a plane mirror created in a silver-halide emulsion, where the
interference fringes are made up of metallic silverparticles (about 20nm in
diameter) distributed within the 5–10μm thickness of the smart polymer. The
fringes are approximately parallel to thehologram surface, much like the pages
of a closed book, and together act as a Bragg diffraction grating, which under
white-light illuminationreflects a specific narrow band of wavelengths and
recreates a monochromatic image of the original plane mirror (or any other
object used duringhologram recording). Constructive interference between
partial reflections from each fringe plane gives a characteristic spectral peak
with awavelength approximately governed by Bragg’s law: mλ=2ndsinθ, where
mis the diffraction order, λis the wavelength of light, nis the averagerefractive
index of the thin-film system, dis the spacing between the fringes and θis the
glancing angle between the propagation direction of theincident light and the
diffracting planes.Any physical, chemical or biological stimulus that changes d,
nor the total number of the fringes containedwithin the film thickness will
generate observable changes in the wavelength (colour) or intensity
(brightness) of the reflection hologram.

7. The Holography Times Technology
can cause long-term structural damage.
Since the Nobel-prize-winning
physicist Dennis Gabor first unveiled
their underlying principles, holograms
have become widely used as
authentication tags to deter copying,
and on credit cards, passports,
banknotes. They also underpin the
technology of supermarket scanners
andCDplayers.
As Chris Lowe and Cynthia Larbey
write, “Visual images produced by
smart holograms can be made to
appear or disappear under appropriate
chemical or biological stimuli which
makes them ideal for use in
Breathalysers, monitoring heart
conditions and for various security
and smart packaging systems.”

Harriet Cadin Siver (1925-2008) passed away unexpectedly of pneumonia
on Monday, March 10, 2008. Harriet was truly a world pioneer in the art
holography.
Harriet Casdin-Silver was perhaps the world's leading exponent of
holography, having developed technical skills and aesthetic applications
unparalleled in the field. Harriet Casdin-Silver was a pioneer of art
holography in the United States and was an important figure in the
development of installation art and technological art in the 1960s. Casdin-
Silver's work was internationally recognized and has been exhibited for over
25 years in museums, galleries, and universities through the Americas,
Europe, and Asia. Casdin-Silver was the first artist to develop frontal-projection
holograms, the first to explore white light transmission multi-colored
holograms, and the first to exhibit outdoor, solar-tracked holograms.

Interview with Mr. Shobhit Arora
Post Graduate in cost accounting from Agra University, Mr. Shobhit Arora has set up
Giriraj Foils Pvt. Ltd.(GFPL) in 1993 in the holy city of VRINDAVAN, the land of Lord
Krishna. Started with the stamping foil in 1993, GFPL produced tamper evident film
for hologram industry in 1998. In these 15 years GFPL has emerged as one of the
leading players in the manufacturing and distribution of premium grade hot stamping
foil, holographic foils, film's and laminates segment. 08 www.homai.org How was GFPL established and what
are the problems faced in initial stage?
What roles do the GFPL play? What
are the bouquets of products offered
byGFPL?
What are the key features that make
GFPLso successful company in last 15
years?
What are the milestones, achieved by
GFPLin last 15 years?
What are new developments GFPL is
doing for hologram industry? What
would be your company's main focus
in thenext 5 years?
GFPL was my dream project. In 1993
label manufacturers were importing
stamping foil from outside India and they
had to pay very high import duty. This
encouraged us and we established GFPL
in 1993 to produce stamping Foil in India.
Within a shortspanof timewewereable to
provide our customersgoodquality ofraw
materials at reasonable price. The
availability of good quality polyester in
India alsoplayedacrucial role init.
From 1993 to 1998, Iwas approached by
few holographers to do similar
developments for Hologram Industry in
India. But at that time user group were
not well-established, since every one had
different specifications of embossing
machines.We took this is as a challenge
and in 1998, started producing tamper
e v i d e n t f i l m s f o r hologram
manufacturers. We continuously work
on the theme “Bring us the problem, we
customize the solution”.
GFPL is amongst one of few companies
to develop Hot Stamping Foil in India.
Today GFPL is an ISO 9001:2000
company and has emerged as one of the
leading player in the films, foils and
laminates segment and has made a great
progress in improving qualities and
developing new types of foils for various
applications.
GFPL product line includes a vast
assortment of metallic silver, gold,
copper, bronze, metalised foil,
holographic foil and specially coated
films. We produce pigmented and
metalised heat transfers foils for a broad
range of hot stamp decorating
applications and industries. Our
specialty films and foils come in a wide
assortment of vivid solid colors and light
polished metal appearances.We have 40
different customized products in 18
different colors.
GFPL strength has been the hard work
and fore sightedness of the promoters
and their dedicated team, personalized
and customized dealings and rapport
with the Industry stalwarts, zeal for up
gradation and finding innovative
technologies to give customized solution
to our customers.
Our services are designed as per the
need of our customers and the same
have helped us in gaining the
confidence and support from all of the
leading hologram manufacturers in
India. Due to their support and our
efforts, today GFPL has achieved a
sales turnover ofUS$ 3million.
We at GFPL dedicate our growth &
achievements to our esteemed &
respected Patrons by whose support,
guidance & dedication we have reached
this stage.
GFPL has created a forte in its arena
since its inception and our achievements
speak volume about our standing in the
market. The first milestone was in 1998
when we started producing tamper
evident film for hologram industry. In
2000 we introduced colored tamper and
non-tamper evident film to the world of
holograms. We had won HoMAI
Excellency awards in 2006 for
developing new innovative products for
hologram industry. GFPL had also been
awarded four times by the Indian
Government for excellence in Industry.
Today, GFPL has providing its
customized solutions to 70% hologram
manufacturers in India, With the
capacity of providing 444.00 metric
tonnes film for holograms and stamping
foil and 165.00 metric tonnes flexible
laminate. We have a market share of
80%in tamper evident films in India.
We are very much focusing on quality
and customer satisfaction.With the new
premises we are spending a capital
expenditure of US $ 1 million for

9. The Holography Times Counterfeiting
2007 A Year of Deliberation,
Diethylene and Dogs
Gloom, doom and apprehension
pervade the financial markets
as 2007 draws to a close and
pundits make predictions for the New
Year. What though in the world of
counterfeiting and piracy? In all
probability another good year for those
who ply this trade, but for enforcers and
anti counterfeiting entities, what have
been the high points been and what lies
ahead in the coming year?
For those involved in tackling the
counterfeiting phenomenon, the year got
off to a good start in January with the
deliberations ofTheThirdGlobalCongress
on Combating Counterfeiting and Piracy.
Hosted by theWorld Intellectual Property
Organisation(WIPO)inGeneva,morethan
1200peoplecrammedinto the international
conference centre, making it by far the
largest event of its type held in any part of
the world. Predictably it attracted the great
and the good from all sectors of the anti
counterfeiting industry and there were
plenty of rallying cries for more to be done
totackletheproblem,mostnotablyfromthe
heads of WIPO, Interpol and the World
CustomsOrganisation (WCO).There were
too, no shortage of both old and new
suggestions as to how the scourge of
counterfeiting and piracy could best be
tackled. Some of the themes covered
included enhancing cooperation and
coordination, promoting better legislation
and enforcement, building capacity, raising
awareness and health and safety issues.
Despite the absence of consumer
associations whose voice was not heard at
this event, the huge numbers attending the
Global Congress appear to suggest that anti
counterfeiting interests worldwide are
finallygetting togetherandthat there isnow
at last a critical mass of high level figures
across the world actively engaged on the
issueandgrapplingwithpossiblesolutions.
The next Global Congress will be
hosted by the WCO in Dubai in
February 2008. In many ways this is an
inspired decision, making it the first
time that the event has been held

outside Europe and emphasising at the
same time the growing economic and
political importance of the Gulf States.
No doubt this will provide an
o p p o r t u n i t y t o examine the
counterfeiting and piracy problem as it
affects Middle Eastern markets and
perhaps the day is not too far off when
we will see the Global Congress held in
a country where counterfeiting is
endemic, such as China, but don't
expect that to happen any time soon.
China always features in any review of
counterfeiting and piracy quite simply
because it is by far the largest producer
in the world of a whole range of fake
products t h a t a r e consumed
domestically and exported globally.
This year China was once again much
in the news in connection with a vast
number of counterfeiting incidents.
Most damaging were the food scares
affecting a number of different
products that form part of China's
$30 billion food and drug export
trade to North America, Asia and
Europe each year. Concerns were
raised when tainted Chinese pet food
ingredients killed and sickened
thousands of dogs and cats in the US
resulting in the largest pet food recall
in the country's history.
USregulators also became worried that a
number of Chinese companies were
mixing the harmful industrial chemical
melamine with wheat flour to artificially
increase protein readings. Then there
were further damaging revelations about
a deadly cough syrup that caused the
deaths of 100 people in Panama.
Investigators discovered that glycerine
which should have been in the syrup had
been substituted in China for the cheaper
poisonous alternative diethylene glycol.
As if that was not bad enough, diethylene
glycol was discovered in toothpaste
exported from China to Panama, the
Dominican Republic and Australia
which in turn triggered a ban by the US
Food and Drug Administration on
imports of all toothpaste from China.
With the safety of Chinese products very
much in issue throughout the year it was
perhaps unsurprising to that efforts
would be made to find individuals to
shoulder the blame and demonstrate that
the government was actively addressing
the situation. Zheng Xiaoyu, China's
former chief food and drug regulatorwas
certainly one of the fall guys. Found
guilty of taking bribes to approve the sale
of a number of fake drugs, hewas swiftly
executed. This harsh sentence is a
striking reminder of how the Chinese
government deal with those who cause
harm and damage the country's nameand
reputation. A scapegoat perhaps, but
certainly one to “encourager les autres”
and a signal that even senior officials are
notimmunefrom justice.
Measuring the scale of counterfeiting
has always been a hot topic and the
keenly awaited report by the OECD in
the middle of the year was broadly
welcomed by all sections of the anti
counterfeiting industry. It represents
the most comprehensive and thorough
investigation of the problem ever
conducted and concluded that the
international trade in tangible
counterfeit products could be as much
as $200 billion annually and the total
www.homai.org 09

10. 10 www.homai.org Counterfeiting The Holography Times magnitude could be several hundred
billion dollars more when counterfeit
and pirated products sold over the
internet and those produced and sold
domestically are included. This is
probably not out of line with the figure
of $600 billion which our own
organisation believes to be a
conservative estimate of the current
global extent of the problem.
Although we will never be able to
measure the phenomenon accurately the
OECD findings and conclusions are
nevertheless helpful in the overall
struggle especially since they state that
the magnitude and effects of the problem
are of such significance that they compel
strong and sustained action from
governments business and consumers.
Perhaps reflecting this sentiment, theG8
leaders when they met in Germany in
June for their annual meeting, strongly
reaffirmed their commitment to
protecting intellectual property rights by
combating piracy and counterfeiting.
There were plenty of new initiatives and
strategies throughout the year. One such
was the launch of the International
Authentication Association, bringing
together a band of companies to promote
the use of authentication technologies as
an integral part of an effective strategy to
protect products documents and their
users from counterfeiting and fraud and to
educate government agencies, brand
owners and others as to the role and use of
authentication. This comes at time when
companies appear to be increasingly
turning to advanced technologies to win
back control of their brands and ward off
accidents associated with fakes. Some of
the latest anti counterfeiting technologies
take advantage of advances in molecular
science and technology enabling products
to be injected with nanotracers, dyedwith
invisible DNA markers or engraved with
microscopiclaser etchings.
Another interesting initiative was the
launch of the “No trade in fakes supply
chain tool kit” by the US Chamber of
Commerce and the Coalition against
Counterfeiting and Piracy. Posted on
the web, the document highlights may
proven strategies that companies use to
protect their supply chains from
counterfeiters and modern day pirates
and includes case studies of aggressive
techniques that leading companies have
used to protect their brands.
On the enforcement front, there were
thousands of raids and huge seizures of
counterfeit and pirated product in all
corners of the world. During the year two
black Labrador dogs, Lucky and Flo stole
the limelight when they made their debut
with dramatic effect in the anti
counterfeitingarena...Trained inNorthern
Ireland to sniff out pirate CD's and DVD's
in hidden compartments, the dogs quickly
proved their worth by sniffing out $3
millionworth ofmovie and game discs in
their first operation. This was soon
followed by a further successes including
finding a huge stash of pirated DVD and
CD discs worth $430,000 in a secret
compartment in a shop that had eluded a
human enforcement raiding party. Stung
bythese losses, pirates apparently put outa
bounty for the capture or destructionof the
two animals,which caused the authorities
to tighten their security.With a tally of 26
arrests and medals of commendation, the
two dogs were recently transferred to the
US where they spearheaded the first
canine assisted bust in the country when
premises in New York were raided and a
substantial haul of fake DVD's were
seized.We may expect Lucky and Flo and
other canines to be even more active on
further raids inthecomingyear.
In Taiwan enforcers couldn't believe
their luck when informants in two
separate movie piracy rings reported
each other to the Motion Picture
Association hotline triggering raids
which put both rings out of business and
proving the old adage that there is no
honour amongst thieves!
There were too a number of unusual
counterfeiting incidents during the year.
These included Croatian truffles being
smuggled in large quantities to Italy in
order to be passed off as more expensive
Alba truffles. Other unusual products
counterfeited included guitars, ball
bearings, marble, botox, eggs, caviar,
tower crane sections and coal fly ash (a
common ingredient in concrete)! The
opportunism of counterfeiters knows no
bounds and was once again in the news
whenthey recentlylaunchedfakeversions
of Apple's revolutionary iPhones in Asia
even though the originals are not due to be
put on the market there until 2008. The
fakes or “iClones“as they are known look
just like the real thing and are apparently
two thirds of the price. It comes as no
surprise that they are being produced in
andaroundShenzheninChina.
A curious tale of counterfeiting
surfaced recently at a trial in England
which proves that faking artistic
works of art is far from a dying craft
and involved a family that produced
fake art and artefacts over a
seventeen year period netting around
£2 million. It was an unusual case for
many reasons. The family comprised
84 year old George Greenhalgh, his
83 year old wife and their 47 year old
son Shaun who operated out of a
council house in Bolton. Their
speciality was producing counterfeit
works of art including sculpture and
antiquities going back to Egyptian
and Roman times, paintings and
other works of art. Shaun, a failed
artist, did most of the work while his
father, by all accounts a superb
salesman passed them off to the art
world who amazingly were taken in.
The fact that this family were able to
fool the art world for so long was put
down to the diversity of the forgeries
that they produced
Finally on a personal note 2007 was the
year that the counterfeiters finally got to
me or more precisely to my credit card.
Having implanted a device into the card
reader at a local petrol station which
read the magnetic stripe information
and captured my pin number, at least
two fake versions of my card were
created. These were then used rapidly in
Canada and India, where chip and pin is
not widely adopted, to make multiple
cash withdrawals leaving me nursing a
loss of some £4,500. Fortunately my
bank was both sympathetic and
cooperative and reimbursed me without
too much trouble but others are
sometimes not so lucky. Whilst
grateful, I am much more wary, it's a
reminder that counterfeiting is not a
victimless crime and vigilance is
always very much the order of the day.
Recession or not, another interesting
anti counterfeiting year lies ahead!

The use of a projector to power the primary handset display
opens up the possibility of holographic displays in the future.
Samsung is developing a new technology to use optical

Hologram recording device
United States Patent Application 20070263268 November
15, 2007
Abstract
A hologram recorder A1 includes a light source (1) of a
coherent light beam and a spatial light modulator (5A) for
modulating a part of the light beam from the light source
(1) into a recording beam which carries two-dimensional
information. Another part of the light beam is used as a
reference beam to interfere with the recording beam. The
recording beam and the reference beam are directed to a
hologram recording medium (B). A semi-translucent
optical device (4) is disposed between the light source (1)
and the spatial light modulator (SA) for letting a part of the
beam travel to the spatial light modulator (5A) as a
transmitted beam while letting another part of the beam
travel to the hologram recording medium (B) as a reflected
beam. The recording beam and the reference beam, after
being separated from each other by the optical device (4) as
the transmitted beam and the reflected beam, travel along
the same optical path (L) to irradiate the hologram
recording medium (B).
