The HS Holographic Studio in "transfer mode"

An Assembled HS Holographic Studio
|
In order to
set the HS to "transfer mode" a single button is pressed
on the main optical unit controller. The master hologram (shown in
light blue in the diagram to the left) is loaded into the plate
holder and an unexposed photoplate or film is loaded opposite it
(shown light yellow).
The laser is then activated to produce a flash of laser radiation
(shown green) that effects the transfer. The (yellow) photoplate
is then chemically processed and dried, after which it becomes the
final display hologram.
Display holograms are printed on a special
plastic photofilm or onto a glass photoplate instead of the
familiar photographic paper used in photography.
Glass photoplates may be used for archival purposes as the
recorded 3D images are of an exceptionally good quality and can
last almost indefinitely under correct conditions. A film
substrate is useful for many commercial applications owning to its
cost and ease of use. |
