Differences and likenesses between demands to media intended for image and hologram recording

Abstract

The difference between conditions of image and hologram recording is determined by the fact that in the first case the light intensity spatial distribution whereas in the second case the light wave amplitude and phase distribution is recorded. Also multiplexing is possible for the hologram recording, which increases significantly the informative capabilities of the recording. The phase recording possibility allows to create several new classes of recording media. In order to improve the media successfully, it is necessary to understand correctly the demands to them which are discussed below.
