Abstract

The name holography is derived from two Greek words holos graphos meaning, roughly, the ‘whole picture’ or record; the original, more prosaic term is wavefront reconstruction which provides a better technical description of what the process achieves, perhaps, but which conveys nothing of the sheer alchemy of a subject that has brought a little of the sense of wonder back into an age of scientific sophistication as well as opening up for the engineer and scientist a whole new range of optical techniques.
