WHITE-LIGHT RECONSTRUCTION OF COLOR IMAGES FROM BLACK-AND-WHITE VOLUME HOLOGRAMS RECORDED ON SHEET FILM

Abstract
The method of ``white‐light reflection holography'' first described by Stroke and Labeyrie (Physics Letters 20, 368, March 1, 1966) and subsequently verified by a number of authors, has now been extended to the recording of volume holograms in 6–7‐μ‐thick Kodak 649F emulsions on sheet film, with a quality in the reconstructed images comparing favorably with the images reconstructed from the 17‐μ‐thick emulsions on glass plates used heretofore. The results presented have also permitted us to further verify a simple ``crystallographic'' theory of the method, first used by Stroke and Labeyrie (ibid.) and further described by G. W. Stroke in a subsequent paper.
