ABSTRACT:
Holographic stereograms and holographic optical elements are printed using computer rendered images of three-dimensional computer models or using computer processed images. A coherent beam is split into object and reference beams that interfere with each other at an elemental hologram on a holographic recording material. A voxel-control lens placed in the path of the object beam and in close proximity to the holographic recording material can be used to control the resolution of a holographic stereogram. Interchangable band-limited diffusers and reference-beam masking plates can assist exposure of the elemental hologram and avoid exposing portions of the holographic recording material that are not part of the elemental hologram.
