Holography is an image registered with use of coherent laser
light. It allows to preserve the 3-D information of a holographed subject. With
a single source of white light, the image is "played back" and appears in 3-D
exactly as it was registered in the studio. Image can project deep inside, or
"stick" out of the picture. Virtually impossible to copy and displaying unique
visual effects, they present themselves as an unbeatable security solution for
brand protection and brand promotion.
Every Industry and any industry can use the
Holographic products to enhance the image of their brands in the market as an
genuine and authenticated brands. They are used for attractive product
packaging, security applications (they are almost impossible to counterfeit),
fancy gifts, etc. Holographys are new media of 3-D art, registration of
priceless artifacts, etc. They are also used in new technology aircraft,
automobiles, etc. A few leading companies are also working on Holographic video
and TV systems. For your quick reference, some of the industry segemnts where
Holographys are used very frequently are as follows:

Can I make Holography with my own Photograph?
Yes, and no. It is possible to make a Holography of photograph,
but photograph itself contains flat, 2-D image information. Therefore on the
Holography it will also look flat. It would look just like a flat photograph
floating in the space on front, or behind the frame. The third, missing
dimension of a photograph cannot be reconstructed by holographic process.

Origin of Holography(master)
Modern
holography dates from 1947, when Dennis Gabor, a scientist researching ways to
improve the resolution of the electron microscope, develop what he called
holography. This was an amazing discovery given that Gabor did not have at his
disposal modern laser light sources considered key to modern holography. Some
twenty-three years later, 1960, the modern laser was invented and serious work
in holography began. In 1971 Dr. Dennis Gabor was awarded the Nobel Prize in
Physics for his work in holography.
It
was two University of Michigan researchers who, in 1962, theorized that
holography could be used as a three dimensional visual presentation. These
individuals, Emmett Leith and Juris Upatnieks, happened upon Gabor's work and
decided to apply his theory with the newly invented laser light sources. The
result was the first laser transmission Holography of 3-D objects. These
transmission Holographys produced images with clarity and realistic depth.
Unfortunately, these transmission Holographys required laser light to view the
holographic image.
The
work of Leith and Upatnieks brought about today's modern holography equipment.
The use of lasers, mirrors, splitters and lenses used in laboratories around
the world for creating holographic images can be credited to their work. Leith
and Upatnieks also learned the importance of stability in the holography lab.
Unlike modern photographic film which can be exposed for a fraction of a
second, many holographic images take seconds or even minutes to expose to a
photographic plate. During the exposure, even the slightest movement can
destroy the exposure and require starting over again.
Like
so many scientific advancements, holography was simultaneously being developed
by other scientists. It was a Russian, Uri Denisyuk, who, in 1962, brought the
work of Gabriel Lippmann (1908 Nobel Laureate) to holography and produced the
first Holographys that could be viewed in regular incandescent light.
Advancements
in laser technology also served to broaden the possibilities of holography. The
pulsed - ruby laser, developed by Dr. T.H. Maimam of the Hughes Aircraft
Corporation in 1960, was such an advancement. The pulsed - ruby laser system
emits a very powerful burst of light that lasts only a few billionths of a
second. This allowed holographic plates to be exposed much more quickly. As a
result one could now produce Holographys of high-speed events, such as a bullet
in flight, and of living subjects.
Perhaps
the most important result of Stephen Benton's work was that it lead to the
ability to mass produce holographic images using optical embossing techniques.
Embossing allowed the images to be reproduced by a press that stamped the image
into plastic surfaces. With costs very low as a result of the embossing
techniques, the publishing, advertising, and banking industries, are now using
embossed Holographys.
Why Holographys should be used?
The reasons for using Holographys and holographic products are as following:
1. Impact: Holographys are eye-catching and will be looked at
significantly longer than other graphic mediums. If a customer name or logo or
slogan is on the Holography, the messagfe is enforced.
2. Pass Around Value: people are impressed by the good
Holographys and are likely to bring them top attention of colleagues and
associates.
3. Retention: people tyend to keep good Holographys.even we
received call from those persons that after 6 monts or one year after they had
been given our visiting cards wearing Holographys. Do you think that a pen or
Calender or a diary can do this's We do not think so.
4. Security: Holographys are virtually impossible to duploicate
and to produce by avereage criminals. Therefore, they have becoimme the
integral part of many government and commercial security programs. They have
been applied to documents, currency, ID cards and product lanels. To further
detert the counetr=-feiters, the Holographys manufacturers, have added
sequential, hidden text and other covert features to their security
Holographys. That's why it is said that's Security Holography is a unique
optical security device that has combined the Physics and Optics to create a
three dimensional image on a two dimensional surface that is used to protect
the genuineness of the brand name and authenticity of a product against the
spurious/ imitations/duplicates.
5. Commercial Reasons: Holographic products, commercially,
constitute a very unique market in them selves. They are sold in the market as
retail products. e.g. Greeting cards, Direct-mail literature, collectibles,
trading cards, packaging and displays etc.
6. Promotional reasons: holographic materials and its allied
products catches the attention of the prospects. Actually, they diffract the
seven colours of the spectrum when the light falls on them. The unique three
dimensional images and colouyrs inherent to the products never let anybody go
without alook that is significantly longer then any other medium. Once apploied
to the product, the apparent value of the product is elevated no matter which
way you look at it.
