Reflection-Transmission Full-View Holograms,
Abstract:
A planar hologram is described on which is recorded the complete wavefront emanating from an object space. If the illumination is monochromatic, first, two separate holograms are made for later transfer to a more centrally-positioned plane. With incoherent illumination of a large object, then two holographic stereograms are made as the intermediary for later transfer. These full-view holograms are classified into the following types 1 reflection-transmission, 2 transmission-transmission, and 3 reflection-reflection. It is shown that the full-view reconstruction is approximately what would be expected from the linear superposition of the outputs of the basic transmission and reflection holograms. Author
