Gram Gram Hologram!
We all like to click photos. But most of all what we see in the image is 2- Dimensional. Have you imagined a 3- Dimensional photographic image!!?? Is it a reality or not?? Yes, I say, a reality.
What is a Hologram?
The 3-Dimensional
image which I talked about earlier is possible through Hologram. Then, what is
a Hologram? It uses light scattered from an object to form a 3-D image.
What do we need for
that?
We need a source
of light such as a Laser, projector laser, beam splitter, mirror, lenses
(diverging lenses) the surface on which we are going to display it and of
course the object itself!!!! And what else is remaining? Ohhhh!!! We forgot the
Holographic film!!! Otherwise who is going to record light patterns coming from
the target object??!!
How Hologram works?
It uses the
principles and the concepts of light waves. Basically, there is a beam of light
rays coming from a laser light source. Then, this beam gets split into two
beams using the beam splitter. These two beams go in two different directions.
One goes towards the Holographic film reflecting off of the object ( object
beam ) and the other directly hits the holographic film directly without
reflecting off of anything but the mirror.
Then, the object
beam passes through diverging lens to spread out the beam. Further, it reflects
off of the mirror to direct them to hit the target. Similarly, the reference
beam reflects off of the mirror and then mirror and then spreads out through
diverging lens.
Once both the beams
hit the holographic film, then, the film records the interference pattern of
these two beams to create a 3-D image.
What we need to take care of?
The room in which
we are displaying the hologram should be dark. You can switch on safe light for
a little light , if you want to. Then, further, the surface on which we are
placing the equipments should be working I e it should not vibrate.
Are Holograms used in our daily lives?
If we want to see
the holograms, we don’t have to go anywhere. Look into your credit card,
wallets , driving licenses. Many of these stuffs are equipped with a Hologram. Also,
it finds applications in fraud and security, military mapping, medical,
information storage and Art.
See you again!!! Till then, read more about
Holograms, if you are curious to know!!
