Holographic Properties of DMP-128 Photopolymers.

Abstract

Ever since Denis Gabor discovered the principles of wavefront reconstruction (orholography) in 1948, efforts have been made to improve the quality of the reconstructed holographic image. In the early 60's, Leith and Uptanieks improved the performance of holography by using separate object and reference beams 1. The invention of the laser shortly thereafter spurred increased research activity in holography as more powerful coherent sources made quality images practicable. As in most developing technologies, a major field of continuing interest is the search for better materials. This thesis is dedicated to the characterization of a promising new development in holographic recording materials: Polaroid's DMP-128 holographic recording system.
