Enlarging Holograms Under White Light, a Way to Save Holographic Material

Abstract

We developed techniques for employing holographic screens under white light, first exhibited to the public in 1989 (3) (4) which demonstrated the possibility of enlarging holograms already in 1990 (5). Fig. 1 shows how we encode views in a first step. The plane of the figure is horizontal, and a thin vertical slit is necessary to project each different view of the scene at a different sequential wavelength value. Decoding happens because the projected views are naturally angularly redistributed by the holographic screen (6).
