My research into the art of Holography has started. Luckily, I work in a museum that has a science and technology library, so I was able to find some simple books on Lasers and Holograms. I was able to get through the first one fairly quickly. The second one, the Holography Handbook, is a little more dense, but has some interesting ideas- like using Holography to create adequate distances of the starts (which the practical use of holograms)

A Hologram is made by splitting the beam of a laser. The two beams are brought together again at a special photographic plate or film after one of the beams has been reflected from the object.


The Hologram kit that I received for Christmas is from Litiholo, which is a company that specializes in Optical Holograms. There are many different types of holograms: acoustical, rainbow, white light, and open aperture. The Litiholo kit creates a reflection hologram that can only be seen when a laser is shooting through it.
