When was the first hologram made

Their theory proved practically possible when they gained access to a laser in and produced a number of holograms. Stephen Benton developed transfer geometries that allowed transmission holographic prints to be viewed with a white light source; including the rainbow hologram in and using an achromatic geometry in to recombine the spectrum.

Train and Bird, Laser-viewable transmission hologram via: Holophile The key step in the development of holographic imaging was the use of a reference beam to encode one wave by superimposing it with another to record the interference pattern.

Steve McGrew, working with the Diffraction Company, develops an embossing mass production technique for surface relief holograms. McGrew invents 2D3D holograms to create layering of flat images, making embossed holograms easier to see in normal ambient light.

MasterCard adds a hologram to its payment cards to combat fraud. The following year Visa follows suit. A heads-up display HUD utilising a holographic combiner is introduced in to the F16 fighter jet. The March issue of National Geographic features a hologram on the front cover. Johnnie Walker Scotch whisky is the first major brand to use a hologram to combat product counterfeiting.

DuPont launches its holographic photopolymer for production of white light reflection, or volume, holograms. Both features were applied as a patch with Gietz equipment. Applied Holographics and Nimbus develop technique for incorporating holograms within the inner ring of CDs.

Holograms used to protect Nestle coffee — one of the first major authentication applications for an FMCG product. The IHMA is incorporated as a non-profit organisation following a unanimous vote the previous November. The Hologram Image Register HIR — a secure registry of holographic images — is established by the IHMA to safeguard hologram copyright and underpin the use of holograms in authentication and security printing.

Bulgaria becomes the first country to utilise a holographic stripe LEAD feature on banknotes the 20 leva. The first tax stamps with holograms are issued in Romania, followed shortly thereafter by Hungary and Russia.
