    Holograms are truly an amazing trick of physics that allow you to capture a 3d image and save it on a photographic plate. But unlike a traditional photo all the 3d information is retained allowing you to view objects from different angles. Today we're going to be looking at how holograms are made, the different recording media, and some properties of light that allow these amazing images to be captured.

      I'm still trying to reconcile the whole wave/particle thing. Like when we talk about interference patterns what does that actually look like from a particle perspective, what are the individual photons doing? Also what's the actual difference between magnetic fields, electric fields, and electromagnetic fields from a particle perspective? I've learned a lot about photons and EM in general but it's always either treating EM as waves or as particles, like 2 different theories with no clear connection between the two. It's easier for me to understand it in terms of individual particles.

      @@LanceThumping Thats the con there is no middle ground because they like to hide behind the confusion, you will however find plenty of intermediary information on Light as waves ! There was an argument as to wether light was a particle or a wave, then it was definitely proven to be an electromagnetic wave by the end of the 19th century, but the Kabbalists who are obsessed with numbers and therefore like the idea of "countable" particles, like spoilt children sulked and claimed it was a particle and a wave, claiming the photoelectric effect was proof.
      It isn't they falsely assume that the increased electrical current, firstly is manifest as a particle (an electron, there is no definitive proof of that either ! its measured as an electrical current not a series of particles) and that secondly that light must therefore be a particle too and be knocking off what they assume to be electrons, like being bombarded with tiny pingpong balls, a ridiculous and child like assumption, which implies both "electrons" and "photons" have mass, which is where their childish logic comes from. Just study light as a wave ignore the quantum quacks (by which I mean ANYONE calling themselves a "Quantum physicists") They are little more than confidence tricksters peddling contradictory nonsense as the secrets of the universe !

    I made some red light holograms about 20 years ago, with an x-ray film that wasn't sensitive to green light. So the dark room ended up being lit green. The best image I got was of some fools gold, and the hologram glittered like the real thing. Really helps show that it's some quantum trickery rather than just a 3d photo.

      My results weren't great, because my laser was rubbish and cat hairs. We had a siberian cat at the time and the hair was everywhere. Even in rooms where the cat wasn't allowed, because of the heated floor. The heat convection made tiny fluffs of cat hair hover around.

    I made all the holograms you mentioned back in the late 60's early 70's in a studio we had on Venice beach in LA. We used to airbrush the emulsions on plates. Yes it was that far back. Our "stable-tables" were large 4'x8' (inside measurement) cinder block plastic-lined tubs filled with sand on which lay inflated inner tubes & on top of those was a heavy solid steel plate to which we could attach articulated arms welded to magnets for mirrors, lenses, splitters, Q-switches, irises, shutters etc., or we could drill alignment holes for the same components. Most of our hefty lasers were on loan from SpectraPhysics, mostly HeNe's & Argons. We eventually started producing white light transmission "Moving Holograms" where we would use 35mm movie cameras, spherical lenses & subjects on rotating tables, and the lasers were then shone through the film via spherical "rod" lenses to produce series of vertically aligned 'compressed' frame-by-frame holograms for motion capture, a holographic GIF if you will. This video reminded me that we wore surgical masks to stop our breath from disturbing the air molecules. Messed up many a plate because someone spoke or god-forbid sneezed. By-the-by, Spontaneous Parametric Down-Conversion when coupled with lasers produce quantum-entangled interference patterns.

    WOW! back in the early 80s, I tried doing this, but the problem I had was where I lived.
    I had to build a large vibration table, which was a 6 foot square sandbox on inner tubes partially filled with air. Even tho I waited till late at night, the semis and trains in the area caused so much vibration. But even without traffic, the GM plant ran 24/7 pounding those huge presses that never ended. Needless to say, my results were terrible.
    My HE/NE laser was also a problem, when you turned it on, you had to wait for the beam to stabilize. Once everything was ready, I would open the exit for the beam, as the tube was in a box to block unwanted light from the tube spoiling the results.
    After many rolls of film being exposed and developed, I would get a few prints worth selling, but not enough to make it pay for itself. I still have lenses, mirrors and prisms for it, but no prints remain, my picture album disappeared years ago.
    Is there a market for holograms anymore? I used to sell my best stuff to people with open minds and liked to trip! I don't know anyone like that anymore.

      Using a triangular prism requires much greater precision in alignment than the optical cube used in the video.

It's basically mated dichroic mirrors and only requires you to get the sources squared up to the cube and then match the distances.

    Thank you, I learned a few things from this (including the thing about embossed holograms and chocolate, which was awesome!)
    The only thing I didn't learn was HOW holograms work. Nobody has ever been able to explain to me why it is that recording the interference pattern "works in reverse somehow" when viewing to re-create a 3D image - something that seems to me by no means intuitively obvious. Is it because it's too complicated to explain easily? I suppose I can go and search for it online, but I was just curious as to why it's never fully covered.

    Another fun holographic project is to create specular holograms, which don't require lazers or holographic film - just a shiny surface that light can glint off of and some kind of computer-controller means of scribing the surface. They're related to scratch holograms but have a much wider viewing angle without the hologram collapsing and distorting.

      What you're suggesting wouldn't be feasible. Filming on holographic film would still require you to be viewing the holographic surface directly for the image's perspective to change with you. Projecting an image through a hologram would only create a 2D projection of that specific viewing angle. You'd have to adjust the angle of the lightsource to adjust the projection's view angle.

    We used to make embossed holograms by the "photo resist" method and once the plate was washed, it was treated with silver then electro-plated with pure nickel.
    This would produce a "shim" (father) from which a reversed shim (mother) could be made, then hundreds of 'rainbow' style holograms could be made from each shim.

    The beam splitters were made of opical quality calcite (which has double refraction). The lasers were housed in separate rooms with the light directed through holes drilled in the wall, to ensure full sharp quality, everything was switched on, lined up then the room vacated and allowed to stabilise for a while then the actual shots were taken remotely.
