Noun
Context #1 | Noun

scientific technique

Holography is a photographic technique that records the light scattered from an object and presents it in a three-dimensional form. This method allows for the capture of the entire light field of an object, creating a hologram that can be viewed from different angles, revealing depth and parallax. Holography has applications in various fields, including art, data storage, telecommunications, and security. It is considered a revolutionary technology due to its ability to produce 3D images without the need for glasses.

Synonyms

3D imaging, hologram creation, light recording

Examples of usage

  • The artist used holography to create stunning visual displays.
  • Holography is utilized in security features for credit cards.
  • Researchers are exploring holography for advanced data storage solutions.

Word origin

The term 'holography' comes from the Greek words 'holos,' meaning 'whole,' and 'grapho,' meaning 'to write.' The concept of holography was first demonstrated in 1947 by Hungarian scientist Dennis Gabor, who won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1971 for his invention. Gabor's initial work involved the use of optical techniques to produce a two-dimensional 'hologram' using a laser beam, which was a groundbreaking advancement in photography. It wasn't until the invention of the laser in the 1960s that holography became a practical and widely-studied technology, leading to its applications in various fields. Over the years, holography has evolved and expanded its use beyond just art and photography into areas such as data storage, telecommunications, and medical imaging.
