Background

The concept of hologram/holography originated in Hungary when one of the resident scientists there invented it as a method to improve the resolution of electron microscopes.
        Holography is composed of following main processes:
        1.Calculations for the scattered wavefronts originating from the object.
        2.Encoding the data for display purpose.
        3.Visual reconstruction from the interference pattern onto a coherent beam of light by using some technologies and transport it to the user  who is going to observe the hologram.
        Now that we're done with a brief intro to this topic we shall be looking further deep into what goes inside to develop such fascinating or 'real life-like'  technology. Do visit our next blog for more such information!

Computational Holographic Imaging for 3D Holographic Projection

By
In this blog,we will see how amazingly we can use the computer hologram images for three dimensional projection.As we have seen in earlier post that the 3D hologram can be seen without using 3D glasses.So,How do they do it? The concept is actually based on an illusionary technique called Peppers Ghost .John Henry Pepper was the one who attempted to popularize this effect.It was first used in Victorian Theaters   across   London in the 1860s. In pepper's ghost there are two rooms, one room is visible to the audience which is the "main room  and the other one is hidden called as "blue room". A plate of glass is placed somewhere in the main room at an angle that reflects the view of the blue room towards the audience. Generally this is arranged with the blue room to one side of the stage, and the plate on the stage rotated around its vertical axis at 45 degrees. This can be used to make objects appear to float in space. Isn't it interesting? ...

Early Developments

By
The first holograms were invented by A. Lohmann . It made use of computer line printers and prodcued using coherent LASER illumination .Th following figure shows one of the first computer-generated hologram and its reconstruction.   As one can observe easily, it is very hard to comprehend the actual image from the holograms. As the developments progressed , more and more sophisticated recording devices were used to create gray scale holograms. The figure represents an example of grey-scale computer-generated hologram and an image reconstructed from a grey scale hologram. Implementation approach by the inventors : The grey scale holograms were recorded using electro-mechanical recording device (a modified faximile machine) with resolution 200 μm and then optically reduced with reduction factor 20 to final resolution 10 μm for optical reconstruction with a laser beam. Now we'll discuss about the mathematical aspects .Mathematical model of the object is usedto ...
