Single Beam Holography
Scott Cipriano '04

Abstract:

    The process of holography, as coined by the Hungarian physicist Dennis Gabor, was originally investigated in an attempt to increase the resolution of the current electron microscope. Gabor ended up using a light beam instead of a beam of electrons to make the first hologram, but it wasn't until the 1960's when the Laser was invented that holography began to take off. Since Gabor's original design, numerous processes have developed that each create unique types of holograms. For the purposes of this project these different variations have been studied and several have been replicated.
