The rainbow hologram or Benton hologram is a type of hologram invented in 1968 by Dr. Stephen Benton Stephen A. Benton at Polaroid Corporation later Massachusetts Institute of Technology MIT . Rainbow hologram s are designed to be viewed under white light illumination, rather than the more esoteric laser light required previously. The rainbow holography recording process uses a horizontal slit to eliminate vertical parallax in the output image, greatly reducing spectral blur while preserving three dimensionality for most observers. A viewer moving up or down in front of a rainbow hologram sees changing spectral colors rather than different vertical perspectives. Stereopsis and horizontal motion parallax, two relatively powerful cues to depth, are preserved. This invention illustrates an underlying theme of Benton s work to reduce the amount of information in a hologram to more closely match the requirements of the human visual system. The holograms found on credit cards are examples of rainbow holograms. These very common holograms are technically transmission holograms mounted onto a reflective surface like a PET film biaxially oriented metalized polyethylene terephthalate substrate commonly known as polyethylene terephthalate PET . The Rainbow Holographic process can also be applied to very large sheets of holographic film, resulting in what is known as a large format Rainbow Transmission Hologram. Large Format Rainbow Transmission Holograms Large Format Rainbow Transmission Holograms are made using the system described above, with a horizontal slit master hologram recorded that captures only the horizontal information of the three dimensional model. These type of holograms can be made with either continuous wave or pulse lasers. If using a continuous wave laser, and exposing very large pieces of film up to 2 metres x 1.1 metre stability of both the 3D model and the film becomes a critical and difficult issue. However, the results can be spectacular. Image depths of 5 ... more details

Volume holograms are holograms where the thickness of the recording material is much larger than the light wavelength used for recording. In this case diffraction of light from the hologram is possible only as Bragg diffraction , i.e., the light has to have the right wavelength color and the wave must have the right shape beam direction, wavefront profile . Volume holograms are also called thick holograms or Bragg holograms . Theory Volume holograms were first treated by H. Kogelnik in 1969 ref name kogelnik cite journal title Coupled wave theory for thick hologram gratings author H. Kogelnik coauthors journal Bell System Technical Journal volume 48 number pages 2909 year 1969 month url doi publisher ref by the so called coupled wave theory . For volume phase holograms it is possible to diffract 100 of the incoming reference light into the signal wave, i.e., full diffraction of light can be achieved. Volume absorption holograms show much lower efficiencies. H. Kogelnik provides analytical solutions for transmission as well as for reflection conditions. A good text book description of the theory of volume holograms can be found in a book from J. Goodman ref name goodman cite book title Introduction to Fourier optics author J.

The assumption is just that the grating is not too strong, i.e., that the full length of the grating is used for light diffraction.

Because of international priority claim issues, classes may be deleted from an application but not added after the initial filing date. There are often disputes regarding the exact classification to apply in an application, partly because prior registrations may already occupy broad areas that overlap the products described by a later applicant.
