Recording Ultra-Realistic Full-Color Analog Holograms for Use in a Moving Hologram Display
Published on: January 14, 2020
Abstract:
Binary holograms have become more interesting since spatial light modulators, capable of binary phase modulation, were developed. The primary restriction of these dynamic elements when used with the Fourier transform is the symmetry of the hologram reconstruction. I describe a new type of hologram that uses the Hartley transform instead of the Fourier transform. Despite their binary form, Hartley holograms offer maximal efficiency (theoretically 100%). Thus they can be presented as high diffraction-efficiency programmable elements. For practical reasons, I also propose a modified version for Hartley holograms that is easy to use. A theoretical analysis as well as experimental results are given.

Van de Graaff uses both smooth and pointed surfaces, conductors, and insulators to generate large static charges and, hence, large voltages. A substantial excess charge can be deposited on the sphere because it moves...

Detection of Black Holes
Their closest cousins are neutron stars, which are composed almost entirely of neutrons packed against each other, making them extremely dense. A neutron star has the same mass as the Sun but its diameter is only a few kilometers. Therefore, the escape velocity from their surface is close to the speed of light.
Not until the 1960s, when the first neutron...
