A method of making a true color stereoscopic hologram

A true color stereoscopic hologram is made with one-wavelength laser. Under illuminating incandescent lamp, a true color stereoscopic image can be seen from the hologram. A diffused reference light and a project object light are used in the recording of the hologram. The three primary color images of natural scenery are encoded on a white-and-black film. With the help of the encoded film, a true color hologram is recorded on a plate by single exposure and a true color stereoscopic by two exposures. The simplification of this method is apparent. Further more, it largely decreases the scattering noise of the hologram and averts the problem of color lack fidelity of the holographic image. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
