Publication number: 20240103440Abstract: A method for producing holograms with a multiplicity of holographic prescriptions from a single master is provided. A multiplicity of holographic substrates each containing a first hologram is stacked on a second holographic recording medium substrate. The first hologram is designed to diffract light from a first direction into a second direction. When expose to illumination from the first direction zero order and diffracted light from each first hologram interfere in the second holographic recording medium substrate forming a second hologram. The second hologram is then copied into a third holographic recording medium substrate to provide the final copy hologram.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 15, 2023Publication date: March 28, 2024Applicant: DigiLens Inc.Inventors: Milan Momcilo Popovich, Jonathan David Waldern, Alastair John Grant
