Presents both a geometric model of the hologram and a step-by-step guide to the procedures involved in making a hologram. (Author/CP)

Holograms are capable of taking the two-dimensional ways of envisioning information to another dimension of presentation, representation, and conceptualization. Educational holography is joining display holography, holographic testing of materials, and holographic optical elements as a fourth major field in holography. Holograms are explored as…

Describes the viewing sessions and the holograms of a holographic road show. The traveling exhibits, believed to stimulate interest in physics, include a wide variety of holograms and demonstrate several physical principles. (GA)

Describes simple methods of making both a reflection and a transmission hologram, as a teaching aid to stimulate students' interest in physics. Lists the various items of equipment necessary for making a hologram. (GA)

This article describes the basic physics of several types of holograms and discusses different recording materials in use. Current and possible future applications of holograms are described as well as their large-scale production. (Author)

Describes a method for making holograms viewable in white light without the problem of vibrations. Presents diagrams which show the arrangement for construction, viewing procedures, and a device for generating holograms. A list of supplies is included. (RT)

Describes a simple apparatus for producing strip holograms with a number of slit-shaped exposures displaced along the vertical direction. The hologram maintains full horizontal parallax, but the slit aperture reduces the vertical viewing angle of the animated object. (Author/GA)

Describes a simple procedure for making all-round holograms of small objects. (SL)

Discusses the use of computer-generated holograms to calculate the Fourier transforms of simple stick objects. (MLH)

A technique is presented for producing holograms using equipment which is already in the possesion of the majority of college physics departments, which includes a slightly modified Michelson interferometer, a helium-neon laser, and a long focal-length lens. Production of high quality holograms has been achieved by inexperienced undergraduates…

Describes how to construct a simple on-axis hologram designed to illustrate the reconstruction of images in terms of Fresnel zone plates and gratings. (GA)

The potential of holograms has been left virtually untapped in the field of education. A hologram can be described as a three-dimensional photographic record of the interference pattern of two superimposed beams of coherent light. Holography requires: (1) high-resolution film; (2) a laser, often a red-beamed helium neon laser; (3) optical…

This is one of several study guides on contemporary problems produced by the American Association for the Advancement of Science with support of the National Science Foundation. The primary purpose of this guide is to provide a student with sufficient practical and technical information to begin independently practicing holography, with occasional…

Virtual Reality (VR) is a creation of virtual 3D world in which one can feel and sense the world as if it is real. It is allowing engineers to design machines and Educationists to design AV [audiovisual] equipment in real time but in 3-dimensional hologram as if the actual material is being made and worked upon. VR allows a least-cost (energy…

Construction of a laboratory area suitable for laser experiments and the creation of holograms is described. (CP)
