Vacuum ultraviolet holography

Abstract

We report the first demonstration of holographic techniques in the vacuum ultraviolet spectral region. Holograms were produced with coherent 1182-Å radiation. The holograms were recorded in polymethyl methacrylate and examined with an electron microscope. A holographic grating with a fringe spacing of 836 Å was produced and far-field Fraunhofer holograms of submicron particles were recorded.
