Multicolor Holographic Image Reconstruction with White-Light Illumination

Abstract

Color images have been obtained by wavefront reconstruction from a reflection volume hologram illuminated with ordinary white light. The hologram was recorded with coherent light at two wavelengths, 6328 Å and 4880 Å, from helium-neon and argon-ion lasers, respectively. Fig. 1 shows the white-light reconstructed image from such a hologram; the original subject was a color transparency. The hologram was formed in Kodak 649F emulsion.
