Abstract
AN essential feature in the recording of holograms is the diversion of part of the illumination as a coherent reference wave, which can be reproduced subsequently for reconstructing the wavefront carrying the information. Techniques of holography differ mainly in the method by which the beam splitting is achieved, and in the way in which the reference and information-carrying waves are brought together to interfere at the photographic material1–6.
