Holography is one of the
remarkable achievements of a modern science and
technology. Holograms have unique property to restore
the high-grade volumetric image of real subjects.
The word "holography" originated from
the Greek words holos - whole and grapho
- write, that means complete record of the image.
Holography
represents photographic process in a broad sense of this word, essentially differs from a
usual photo because there is a registration not only intensity in a photosensitive
material, but also phase of light waves, scattered by the object and carried the complete
information about three-dimensional structure of the object. As the medium of mapping of
the reality, hologram has unique property: unlike usual photo, the holographic
image can reproduce exactly three-dimensional copy of the original object! Such image
with set of views, varied with change of supervision, has amazing realness and often looks
like the real object. Unlike photography or painting, holography can render a object with
complete dimensional fidelity. A hologram can create everything your eyes see - size,
shape, texture and relative position. However, if you try to touch a holographic image,
all you'll find is focused light.
Holograms
represent the best way of reproducing quality replicas of museum exhibits, pieces of
sculpture etc. At the same time volumetric images provide new opportunities for art
development, namely representational holography and optical design. The holograms are
widely used in souvenir production and as ornaments. Holograms are effective in
advertising as well.
