The hologram keeps the information on the amplitude and phase of the field. Several holograms may keep information about the same distribution of light, emitted to various directions. The numerical analysis of such holograms allows one to emulate large numerical aperture, which, in turn, enables enhancement of the resolution of optical microscopy.
When the hologram plate is illuminated by a laser beam identical to the reference beam which was used to record the hologram, an exact reconstruction of the original object wavefront is obtained. An imaging system (an eye or a camera) located in the reconstructed beam 'sees' exactly the same scene as it would have done when viewing the original.
Computer-generated holography (CGH) is a technique that uses computer algorithms to generate holograms.It involves generating holographic interference patterns.A computer-generated hologram can be displayed on a dynamic holographic display, or it can be printed onto a mask or film using lithography.

The rainbow hologram (also known as Benton hologram) is a type of hologram that was invented in 1968 by Dr. Stephen A. Benton at Polaroid Corporation (later MIT). [1] Rainbow holograms are designed to be viewed under white light illumination, rather than laser light which was required before this.
Digital holography is the acquisition and processing of holograms with a digital sensor array, [1] [2] typically a CCD camera or a similar device. Image rendering, or reconstruction of object data is performed numerically from digitized interferograms.
The holographic principle is a property of string theories and a supposed property of quantum gravity that states that the description of a volume of space can be thought of as encoded on a lower-dimensional boundary to the region – such as a light-like boundary like a gravitational horizon.
Holographic optical element (HOE) is an optical component (mirror, lens, directional diffuser, etc.) that produces holographic images using principles of diffraction.HOE is most commonly used in transparent displays, 3D imaging, and certain scanning technologies.
Since its introduction, vibrometry by holographic interferometry has become commonplace. Powell and Stetson have shown that the fringes of the time-averaged hologram of a vibrating object correspond to the zeros of the Bessel function (), where (,) is the modulation depth of the phase modulation of the optical field at , on the object.
