<title>Color reflection holography using four recording wavelengths</title>

Abstract

We present a theoretical analysis of color reflection holography using four recording wavelengths. The color reproduction of the hologram is discussed using the 1976 CIE chromaticity diagram. The optimum combination of the four wavelengths which minimizes the distance between the reconstructed image and the object points is calculated using nonlinear least square method. It is found that the extremely good color reproduction can be achieved by four- wavelength recording. We also analyze the color reproduction for the four practical laser wavelengths. The optimum choice of the wavelengths and the attainable color reproduction are discussed.
