Hi all
I've been working on my holography setup to try and improve a few things. It looks as though my endeavours are finally paying off ...
This what I've been working towards for the last few years.
Today is a good holography day :-)

Very very nice Jem. Bright, great detail. I also like the way you shot the photo with part of your holography equipment in the background. Ron
Haha... Yes, the holography equipment in the background is my C315m that is currently 'resting'. Also you can just see a bit of my safelight that I use when working with my red HeNe, it's a 20mW JDSU Microgreen
It's taken me a long time to reach this stage and it's fair to say I'm feeling pretty pleased with myself.
Credit must also go to John Sonley without whose help I would have still been making single beam Denisyuks

Hey, That figure kinda looks familiar
It still has a special place in my hobby room.
Heyy! I reccognise that laser in the background! =)
Will there be three phase!!!!
Thats pretty cool Jem. Thanks for sharing.
This space for rent.

and is your microgreen still the one I repaired the controller for?
nice hologram Jem, it's always great to see homemade ones of such quality
do you plan on making those holograms which are half inside, half oustide the glass to the eye?
It sure is
That's exactly what this one is. The base of the Buddha sticks out in front of the glass by about 25mm, his hands and face are about in the plane of the glass and the rest of him is behind the glass. That's one of the problems when trying to photograph holograms, you don't get a sense of where the image is.nice hologram Jem, it's always great to see homemade ones of such quality

These types of holograms are known as H2's or image plane holograms, these particular ones reconstruct in white light. It's made not from the original object, but from a transmission hologram 'Master'. This 'Master' hologram when illuminated correctly reconstructs the original image about 12cm in front of itself. A film is then placed into the 'image plane' and exposed resulting in a hologram which spans the glass plate producing both a real and virtual image.
The problem i've been having is getting sufficient stability to make these H2's as everything needs to be ultra stable to get a decent image.
Cheers
Jem

Ok, never tried this before. I've just taken a bit of video with my iPhone and uploaded it to Photobucket...

Be patient, it'll take a couple of minutes to load
