Classic holography is phase-angle modulation of (single-frequency) light. (How is "full spectrum" "white-light" holography done ?)

Can holography be done in a not-completely-dark room if one uses (a) plenty of frequency-specific filters and/or (b) "black and white" film insensitive to the (visible) ambient light ?

what is this ? holovideo benton

The program "Holocrunchies" that was at "http://multivac.mit.edu/mit/jbreiden/holography/cool/interface.html" and calculated computer generated holograms has apparently gone offline.

The number of pixels depends on the quality you want/need. We do here
CGHs on LCDs with 320x400 Pixels ! And this works quite good.
So no problem with size and resolution in principle.
You have to keep in mind that you can increase quality by not simply
simulating the process of a conventional Hologram Recording. Instead
you use some more or less clever algorithms. If you do a simple simulation
you need indeed some billions of pixels for a fresnel hologram.
(see also some of the other postings)

You don't need monochromatic light for the photoreduction.

If you do a fourier CGH (has some advantages) the resolution is more
or less unimportant (that's why we can do this with LCDs). So there
is no problem with resolution.

SPIE publishes a book in their "Milesonte Series" called _Selected

I've found it very interesting reading.  ~500pp, ~50 papers.

I guess you probably know that they have created real time hologram
projection at MIT already using a crystal that diffract light
differentlly when stimulated with sound waves. Acoustoptical crytals.
They had a photo of a little starship enterprise image coming out of
the end of it. The resolution was low maybe 100x100 but it was
realtime (and moncolor blue I think.) the compute calculate the
diffraction pttern on the fly and the starship could rotate etc in
real time.

I always wondered what kind of image you would get if you set up a
virtual hologram table in POVRAY using a point light source and an
"interference plate" plane opposite a 100% reflecting plane to get say
an interference hologram of some dxf model and put the camera position
such that the interference plate filled the screen image viewpoint.  I
guess POVRAY doesn't take into account wavelengths even though you can
"dial in" a pure color light source.
But the pov ray source code is out there and perhaps it would not be
too hard to modify it to take into account wavelength and crest trough
reinforcement as you trace the light beam reflections and
transmissions. Seems like it would just be a matter of keeping track
of the path length from the light source to the final interference
plate in the virtual set up to compute if that intersection is a crest
or a trough. keep a running total for each point on the plate which
would correspond exactly with the screen pixels if you set up the
camera position correctly and viola!

The nice thing would be you could dial in any wavelength to make a
hologram pattern for  say a wavelength corresponding to sound instead
of light and then print it out on a sound opacity medium and use a
wavelength pure sound source to create a holographic sound projection
of the image. Point it at a Dolphin and watch em freak out.<G>

1) First there are all kinds of tricks to reduce calculations
such as limited the angular aperture, especially vertically.  Also doing

A lot of things. basically a hologram is something that deflects
light in a rather strange way. Of course you can use this in nearly
all fields of (coherent) optics. Some important examples:

scanners (supermarket barcode)
beamshaping for high power lasers
optical inform. processing/computing (e.g. optical connections, fan-outs)
filters for analog-optical recognition (correlators)
projections onto surfaces
correction of aberrations (e.g. telescopes)
applications in measurement science
  (e.g. in interferometers, confocal microsc.))
quality control of aspeherical elements

and so on and on.

This works. No problem with that. This is used in a lot of products.
For example CD players often use a CGH (small and not much weight) in
order to get error signals and focussing with one cheap element replacing
several lenses and beam-splitters.
The problem (dependend on the application) with that is that you will
get errors because - again - the resolution (and quantization) of the
CGH should be as high as possible and simply often isn't high enough.

Although we have to deal with different phaenomena (diffraction, refraction)
both of them are physical effects and as such can be used to defelect
light. So everythings fine with that approach. The systems are entirly
different but have the same input/output relationship. That's the
same with 2 computer programs programmed by different people
solving the same problem.

Difficult to say. If you are lucky, you will get a cheap LCD with
enough optical accuracy. Unfortunatly the manufacturers won't give you
any technical data on optical flatness and such things. Therefore
you really need some luck. We use rather expensive (5..10 k$) LCDs.
At least you need a laser (e.g. HeNe), polarizers and the LCD.
I wouldn't use it for 3D displays. I doubt that you will get
reasonable quality. Other approaches for simple 3D displays
seem to be more appropriate today.

Yes. For a typical LCD manufacturer this is indeed a side effect.
Therefore they unfoirtunatly don't optimize/measure the phase shift.

The thesis is written in  german and quite difficult to translate (apart
from being 160 pages long). So it should be unfortunatly useless for you.

Yes.  Although you can even achieve with 0.5 to 0.8 PI quite good results.
Intensity is no problem if you are using a laser ! We always have to dim
down our cheap 5 mW HeNe. The main advantage of CGHs vs. other displays
is, that the light isn't absorbed but redirected onto the reconstructed
image. That's why you use CGHs if you want to change the shape of
a high power Laser system for material processing. If you would not
use a CGH, a lot of the (rather expensive) laser energy would be wasted
so you would need e.g. a 20 kW laser instead of a 5 kW laser.

Yes. This is indeed the same direction that leads to pancharatnams phase.
(at least the basic principle, although you use two different polarization
states instead of 2 different phases)

Yes. We tested to simply print out a hologram with our
HP Laserjet 4 (at 300 DPI) onto a standard overhead foile. It works.
The quality isn't as good as with LCDs (cause the surface of the
foil is quite irregular and bad) but in principle, it works.

It's Tex (Latex) Format. I gave you this because my thesis was written in
latex.

The main problem with CGH calculation is, that you have to optimize
the holograms in order to achieve reasonable quality. Therefore
really a lot of different algorithms are used. One class
of algorithms for this optimizations are genetic algorithms.
Simply stated the problem is: Which pixels do I have to set in
my LCD (diffractive element) in order to achieve best quality of
hologram reconstruction. This is a quite difficult optimization
problem since you have a lot of degrees of freedom (because you have
a lot of pixels).

Silly me, I expected that, since the subject *assumed* a computer in the first place, that all the latest and greatest stuff would be on the web.

Nope. After discovering something worthwhile, these people published it in books. <Sigh>. I guess I'm going to have to go to the library and/or to Powell's Technical Bookstore and see if I can special order any of these books.

Not only is it possible, it is actually quite practical. My research group
and I have written a number of papers on the subject (more specifically
for diffractive optics, but the principles are the same). We make masks
all the time with feature sizes down to about 6-8 micrometers using
desktop publishing. Somewhat simplified, the procedure is as follows:

1) Design your mask pattern (using Mathematica. Matlab, Code V, etc..
anything that can generate a PostScript file).
2) Import the PS file into a graphics program (we use Macromedia Freehand)
for scaling and/or adding additional info.
3) Have the file printed at a commercial graphics arts house by an
imagesetter on transparent film. Cost is about $25 for a letter sized
page. These are 3600 dpi (or higher) imagesetters, though.
4) Photoreduce the transparency onto a high resolution film plate. You can
get good film/holographic plates (5000 lines/mm) for around $80 for a box
of 30. The lens we use is an off the shelf Rodenstock, fixed 10X reduction
lens (about $170). The lens is what limits us to 6-8 micron features.
We're working on a diffraction limited setup, though.
5) Voila. You get an amplitude mask with a useful area of about 20 mm by
20 mm with features down to 6-8 microns for about $30, counting the cost
of the transparency and film plate.

We typically take these masks and use them as photolithographic masks to
fabricate phase structures for higher efficiency. The masks themselves
work quite well, though.

Here are some references if you would like to check them out. Also, feel
free to contact me if you have any more questions.

These are listed in summary form as follows.

But before I list the bibliography, I need to tell you one more thing:
the real inspiration came when I conjectured that building computer
generated holograms is plausibly the killer-app for quantum computing.
(reference: http://www.servtech.com/public/jmb184/physics.html)
I'm going to chew on that for a while and then I'll get back to you.

Hmmm. Yes. We use the LCD-CGHs basically not for display purposes (
although this doesn't matter since the design remains the same).
For display purposes you generally need only horizontal parallax.
Therefore a CGH with high horizontal and low vertical resultion
seems to be best choice. That's why the AOM approach at MIT is
in principle not bad (although indeed far to expensive).
Best thing would be a LCD (or a combination made out of some LCDs)
with 10.000 ... 20.000 pixel horizontal and about 400 pixel vertical.
Unfortunatly this isn't availlable up till now.
The problem therefore is (at least in my eyes) that realtime
CGH display at useful quality can't be achieved today at reasonable
price. So we have to wait some years ...

Yes and no. 1.) the pinciple strongly depends on the type of LCD (twisted
nematic, planar nematic, FLC, ...). Most of commercial LCDs are
twisted nematic. So I will give you some hints for them: the modulation
of polarization is achieved by the rotation of long molecules. It's
easy to imagine that the refreactive index also depends on the
rotation. Therefore the refractive index (-> the phase delay) is also
modulated. This happens even without any polarizers in front/behind the
display. Using polarizers you get an additional nonlinear phase
shift, known as pancheratnam's phase or geometrical phase or berry phase.
Very interessting and useful, but too complicated to be discussed here
(my diplom thesis contained something about this).

Apart from all this, you can of course always use the SLM not as
a phase modulator but as an amplitude modulator (-> amplitude
holograms (with all their problems)).

If you are planing to really do some optical experiments, you
should be contact me again because there are some practical
issues to be considered in deciding which LCD to buy.

Yes. There are some references I didn't knew.

I give you some of my references (I have not everything typed
into computer) for the extension of your list (but you have to sort out
for yourselve which of them are already present in your list).

Cool stuff that's only tangentially related to Computational Holography

Date: Fri, 18 Oct 1996
From: Brian Wowk <wowk at cc.UManitoba.CA>
Newgroups: sci.nanotech
Subject: Holodeck system

        Thanks to everyone who privately expressed interest in
possibly financing a patent application for my ideas on
Phased Array Optics, or PAO (as outlined in the new book,
Nanotechnology: Molecular Speculations on Global Abundance).

        This past week (thanks to the World Wide Web) I was able
to quickly and easily do what I was not able to do six years ago
when I first cooked up these ideas: do a "prior art" search.
What I discovered was that the idea of real-time holography
using LCDs backlit by laserlight (a PAO precursor of sorts)
dates back to at least 1986.  I also found a very impressive body
of work on real-time holography by Mark Lucente and his colleagues
at the MIT Media Lab

http://www.media.mit.edu/people/lucente/holo/holovideo.html

They call their technology electro-holography, or "holovideo".
They use modulated ultrasound to create dynamic microscopic
variations in the refractive index of a transparent crystal.
A scanning slit and rapidly spinning mirror create the illusion
of a stationary refractive index modulation as the waves of
ultrasound race across the crystal.  When laser light is shone
through this AOM (acousto-optical modulator) the resulting phase
variations produce a real-time hologram.

        The MIT work is certainly a technical tour-de-force, but...
it is to PAO as I've described it what Charles Babbages's
Difference Engine is to a Pentium PC.  Where does this leave us?

        There are three ideas inherent in PAO as I've described
it:

       (1) Combined phase and amplitude modulation on a length
           scale <= one wavelength to eliminate visibility of the
           primary laser beam (which is ubiquitous in conventional
           holography).

       (2) Computer synthesis of images.

       (3) An optical element consisting of individually-addressable
           nanometer-scale phase and transmission modulators.

The static version of (1) is a specialized form of holography
called kinoform, so it is not a new idea.  (2) has been going on
for many years.  (3) is still pie in the sky.  Even if (3) cannot
be built yet, I had hoped a concept patent might be obtainable.
However the work of the MIT Media Lab, crude as it is, suggests
that (3) would be "obvious to anyone skilled in the art".
Given that real-time microscopic phase modulation is the heart
of the MIT system, replacing ultrasound with a programmable array
of modulators when the technology becomes available is an obvious
improvement.  I don't think that a hand-waving description of
such an array in general terms would qualify as a patentable
contribution to the field.

        I think the PAO patents will lie not in the general idea
of PAOs, but in the specific technical tricks involved in their
implementation.  Jeff Soreff's brilliant idea of using rotating
birefringent crystals as phase shifters is a perfect example.
Unfortunately, like nanocomputer Rod Logic, the patent would
probably expire before a device that elegant is built.

        So rather than the guy who makes a billion dollars from
PAOs, I'm more likely just the guy who foresaw how far this
technology would someday go.  The best I can hope for is that
the terminology Phased Array Optics will catch on.  In my
unbiased opinion, it is much more descriptive and far-reaching
term than mere "holographic TV". :)

        Thanks again, everyone, for your interest.

OK, so I only have 1 pretty lame example of holography humor right now. Have you seen any others ?
