Novel Material May Allow Everyday 3D Holography

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
What may be the world’s thinnest hologram could also be the harbinger of what’s to come in consumer electronics: the introduction of 3D holography compact enough to be integrated into everyday electronics such as smartphones, laptops and TVs. Developing holograms that are thin enough to work with electronics has been a challenge. Holography currently has extensive applications in optical microscopy and imaging, 3D displays and metrology; but to integrate holography with modern low-dimensional electronic devices, holograms need to be thinned to a nanometric scale. ...Read full article

    nano
    An SI prefix meaning one billionth (10-9). Nano can also be used to indicate the study of atoms, molecules and other structures and particles on the nanometer scale. Nano-optics (also referred to as nanophotonics), for example, is the study of how light and light-matter interactions behave on the nanometer scale. See nanophotonics.
    holography
    Holography is a technique used to capture and reconstruct three-dimensional images using the principles of interference and diffraction of light. Unlike conventional photography, which records only the intensity of light, holography records both the intensity and phase information of light waves scattered from an object. This allows the faithful reproduction of the object's three-dimensional structure, including its depth, shape, and texture. The process of holography typically involves the...
    thin film
    A thin layer of a substance deposited on an insulating base in a vacuum by a microelectronic process. Thin films are most commonly used for antireflection, achromatic beamsplitters, color filters, narrow passband filters, semitransparent mirrors, heat control filters, high reflectivity mirrors, polarizers and reflection filters.
