• Homemade Holograms: The Complete Guide to Inexpensive Do-It-Yourself Holography
  ~Usually Ships in 24 Hours
-John Iovine / Paperback 230 pages / Published November 1990
This excellent book provides optoelectronics experimenters and hobbists with the basic knowledge and methodology to make a variety of holograms. Covers procedures for making your own equipment and setting up advanced experiments involving split-beam, color and sterographic holography. While written for those with little or no laser experience, this book covers the basic methodology and equipment required to make an array of holograms. John Iovine describes procedures using equipment readers can readily make themselves. Begins with simple white-light-reflection and transmission holograms of people, computer graphics, and solid objects. And once those holograms are mastered, experimenters can follow Iovine's instructions for more advanced spilt-beam, color, and stereographic holography. Explains how to cut the costs by building your own lasers, your own optical table, beam shutter, and how to use film rather than plates. The book even offers guidelines for disposing of chemical waste, and a complete list of equipment suppliers is included.
