B.S.T.J. Briefs: Multicolor Holographic Image Reconstruction with White-Light Illumination

Fig. 2 -- Arrangement for "projection" hologram formation. ing from flashlight to sunlight can be used to obtain reconstructions as shown in Fig. 1. P a r t i c u l a r l y brilliant multicolor reconstructions were obtained when the light illuminating the subject was focused some distance behind the hologram plane. A similar result was reported in R e f . 2. One of us (G. W. Stroke) wishes to t h a n k Professor D. G a b o r for most fruitful conversations and encouragement with this work.
