Course Instructor

SC522: Holographic Recording Materials

An introduction to the holographic recording process is given, including also the demands on recording materials for holography. The course covers different recording materials for holograms, HOEs, and DOEs, which currently are on the market. In particular, the new improved silver halide (AgHal) emulsions from new sources as well as dichromated gelatin, photopolymer, photoresist, thermoplastic materials, and bacteriorhodopsin are all described.
