Patent number: 7800803Abstract: A single method and apparatus for producing many of the most common types of hologram from digital data is disclosed. The data are generated entirely by a computer as a 3-D (animated) model or from multiple 2-D camera images taken of a real 3-D (moving) object or scene from a plurality of different camera positions. The data are digitally processed and displayed on a small high resolution spatial light modulator (SLM). A compact low energy pulsed laser, is used to record composite holograms. The present invention permits the creation of restricted or full parallax master transmission or reflection type composite holograms, known as H1 holograms, that can be copied using traditional methods. Alternatively the same invention and apparatus permits the direct writing of hologram without the need to pass through the intermediate stage of the H1 transmission hologram.Type: GrantFiled: May 15, 2009Date of Patent: September 21, 2010Assignee: View Holographics Ltd.Inventors: David Brotherton-Ratcliffe, Florian Michel Robert Vergnes, Alexy Rodin, Mikhail Grichine

Patent number: 7324248Abstract: A method and apparatus for producing holograms may use a computer generated 3-D model or data generated using multiple 2-D camera images taken of a real 3-D object or scene. The data is digitally processed and displayed on a high resolution spatial light modulator (SLM). A low energy pulsed laser records composite holograms on a holographic emulsion using a special optical design. Restricted or full parallax master transmission or reflection type composite holograms, known as H1 holograms, may be created that can be copied using traditional methods to produce full or single color rainbow white-light transmission holograms, achromatic white-light transmission holograms or single or full-color white-light reflection holograms.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 2005Date of Patent: January 29, 2008Assignee: XYZ Imaging, Inc.Inventors: David Brotherton-Ratcliffe, Florian Michel Robert Vergnes, Alexey Rodin, Mikhail Grichine

Patent number: 7262891Abstract: A single method and apparatus for producing many of the most common types of hologram from digital data is disclosed. In one embodiment the data are generated entirely by a computer as a 3-D (animated) model. In another embodiment the data are generated from multiple 2-D camera images taken of a real 3-D (moving) object or scene from a plurality of different camera positions. The data are digitally processed and displayed on a small high resolution spatial light modulator (SLM). A compact low energy pulsed laser, which avoids the usual vibration problems encountered at high rates of production and the installation in normal working environments, is used to record composite holograms on an holographic emulsion using a special optical design.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 2005Date of Patent: August 28, 2007Assignee: XYZ Imaging, Inc.Inventors: David Brotherton-Ratcliffe, Florian Michel Robert Vergnes, Alexey Rodin, Mikhail Grichine

Patent number: 7199814Abstract: A direct write holographic printer for producing RGB color reflection holograms is disclosed. A Nd:YLF crystal (1) in a laser cavity is excited to produce an emission at 1313 nm which is frequency converted by doubling to 656.5 nm and by tripling to 437.7 nm. In a separate cavity a similar Nd:YLF crystal (1a) is synchronously or asynchronously excited to produce an emission at 1047.1 nm (or at the related line of 1053 nm) which is frequency converted by doubling to 523.6 nm (or 526.5 nm). The emissions at 437.7 nm and 656.5 nm are combined co-linearly with the emission at 523.6 nm (or 526.5 nm) to produce a single RGB pulsed laser beam.Type: GrantFiled: October 8, 2001Date of Patent: April 3, 2007Assignee: XYZ Imaging, Inc.Inventors: Alexey Rodin, Florian Michel Robert Vergnes, David Brotherton-Ratcliffe
