Abstract
Abstract A device for reconstructing a hologram using white light, by providing in the optical path before or after the hologram a dispersion-compensating element. A preferred embodiment employs a diffraction grating. A relatively efficient and inexpensive transmission diffraction grating is obtained by a pile of aligned, superimposed replicas having the same spacing.
