Modern holographic recording and analysis techniques applied to edge-lit holograms and their applications
The main aim of this research was to create and analyse a compact holographic optical system which is illuminated through the edge of the substrate. Edge-lit holograms are used in order to minimize the space requirements for various possible replay geometries. Many aspects of the recording, analysin...
