One of a number of holograms produced by Jon E. Solid in 1969-1971 at General Dynamics in Fort Worth, Texas, for early interferometric research purposes. This is a double exposure hologram, an argon laser transmission hologram on Kodak SO 253 silver halide emulsion. The theory of holography was developed in 1947 by British/Hungarian scientist Dr. Dennis Gabor while working to improve the resolution of electron microscopes. In 1960 the laser was invented and its pure white light was ideal for holography. In 1962 Emmett Leith and Juris Upatnieks of the University of Michigan, combined Gabor's theory with their own work in side-reading radar and applied it to holography, resulting in the off-axis technique of hologram production still in use & the first laser transmission hologram. Also in 1962 Dr. Yuri N. Denisyuk of the U.S.S.R combined holography with Gabriel Lippmann's work in natural colour photography to produce a white-light reflection hologram which, for the first time, could be viewed in light from an ordinary incandescent light bulb. By 1965 Leith, Upatnieks & other U.S. researchers had developed off-axis reflection holograms (Ref. 1). In 1965 Robert Powell and Karl Stetson published the first paper on holographic interferometry. This technique uses the interference between light beams to make more than one exposure on a single plate, of the same object in double exposure holograms, of the ambient air & a moving object in dynamic holograms, & of the same object recorded by two different wavelengths of laser light in contour interferometry (Refs. 1 & 2). - Area Notes
