The discovery of diffraction and interference led eventually to the holographic principle, the recording and reconstruction of the shape of a wavefront. Transmission and reflection holograms are detailed in this chapter, along with the principles of rainbow holograms and holographic stereograms and their applications. Digital holography is described in the form of multiplexed images. The psychological and philosophical implications of the holographic image are discussed with some examples from the field of creative art.
