Abstract:
A hologram comprising three superimposed parallel diffraction gratings, each modulated by a different primary color component of an imaged object and having a different spatial frequency related to that component, is embossed in a suitable record such that at least one of the gratings is rotated with respect to the other two. The coarsest beat frequency in ''''multi-color'''' areas of the hologram is thereby increased over that for a hologram comprising mutually-parallel gratings, whereby the resolution of the hologram-as observed in a focussed image hologram projectoris similarly increased.
Abstract:
A filamentary light source and condenser system provide one or more light beams for illuminating a frequency-encoded focussed image hologram, the light diffracted therefrom being decoded by a slit-type spatial filter and projected onto a viewing screen to display a full color reconstruction.
