Abstract

An automated pulsed holography camera system for ultra-large format display holography has been created. This camera produces reflection and rainbow copies of up to 110 X 150 cm size as well as master holograms of up to 80 X 100 cm size. In addition, the system is capable of generating digital full color transmission rainbow holograms from masters produced by a digital mastering machine. Camera utilizes the single longitudinal mode-phase conjugated laser delivering the pulses of 35 ns duration with maximum energy of 8 J at 526.5 nm wavelength. High output energy have conditioned the use of non-spherical spatial beam filtering in each beam pass. Camera incorporates instant switch-over from copying to mastering modes, permits digital electronic setting of all beam ratios and allows manual tuning of scene illuminating diffusers. Some of the most important applications of this camera are printing of AO format 3D-drawings for advanced virtual prototyping of machines & devices, large format scientific & artistic holography, 3D-posters printing industry of near future.
