Noun
Meaning
the branch of optics that deals with the use of coherent light from a laser in order to make a hologram that can then be used to create a three-dimensional image

A new technology for grating insertion into integrated photonic lightwave circuits is digital planar holography (DPH).
In this way, low stray-light holography is combined with the high efficiency of deep, etched transmission gratings, and can be incorporated into high volume, low cost semiconductor manufacturing technology.
Known for his invention of holography and received the 1971 Nobel Prize in Physics. citation "The family adopted the Lutheran faith in 1918, and although Gabor nominally remained true to it, religion appears to have had little influence in his life.
The cause is thought to be thermoelastic expansion of portions of the auditory apparatus. citation Competing theories explain the results of interferometric holography tests differently.
These gratings, called volume phase holography diffraction gratings (or VPH diffraction gratings) have no physical grooves, but instead a periodic modulation of the refractive index within the gel.
This idea was made more precise by Leonard Susskind, who had also been developing holography, largely independently.
