<title>Recent Developments In Holography</title>

Abstract

It is now more than five years since the great increase in holo-graphic activity began. As we take an overview of the current state of holography, two observations become evident. First, the level of activity has continued unabated- -certainly no diminution of activity is noticeable. Possibly the number of papers on holography this year will be higher than ever before. The second observation, perhaps not entirely compatable with the first, is that commercial applications for holography are yet rather limited.
