A method of preparing a copy hologram from a master hologram in which the light employed in the copying process is modified by passing an exposing beam through a light modulating array. At least some members of the array have modified light transmissivities in accordance with information derived from a reconstruction of the master hologram.

Preparation of a copy hologram with a light modulating array derived

A method of preparing a reflection hologram which includes mounting a transmission hologram in register with a portion of transparent photosensitive holographic material there being present there between a filter to cut out zero order light transmitted through the transmission hologram, there being present on each side of an assembly which includes the hologram and the holographic material a light reflecting surface then causing a beam of light from a laser source to pass through a holographic optical element (H.O.E.) which splits the beam into two beams and causes both beams to scan in register over both the whole surface of the transmission hologram and the holographic material by directing the beams onto both reflecting surfaces so that one beam is reflected from one said reflecting surface and on passing through the transmission hologram takes-up the image information and passes through the filter to cut out the zero order light to the portion of transparent photosensitive holographic material where it interferes with the other beam which is reflected from the other reflecting surface into the holographic material then processing the holographic material to fix the holographic image therein.

Contact copying of reflection or volume holograms

Holographic film material which comprises in a silver halide emulsion layer an amount of a water-soluble compound, which does not affect the photographic properties of the silver halide emulsion and which is non-light scattering.

Holographic film material

Multicolor holograms using gelatin as the binder and having interference fringes lying in layers parallel to the substrate, the colors of which are visible by reflection in incident natural light, by treating the holographic material which has been holographically exposed and processed to produce a hologram therein, by applying to the selected areas of the gelatin which contains the interference fringes a solution of a compound which causes the interference fringes to separate permanently and produce a bathochromic shift in the replay wavelength.

A transparent sheet material which is suitable for projection on overhead projectors comprises coated onto a support a binder layer containing discrete particles of an organic polymer which has substantially the same refractive index as the binder, the polymer comprising from 0.5 to 30% by weight of the binder. The coating gives a good key for typewritten characters produced by carbon ribbon or ink ribbon typewriters, for writing with e.g. ball-point pen, pencil, water or solvent based ink pens, Indian ink and inked rubber stamps.
