Playback beam
Lesson Flashcards: Holography Physics
The beam that is incident on a holographic plate on which a holographic plate recording has been made
Holographic plate recording
The interference pattern produced on a holographic plate by an object beam and a reference beam
Object beam
The beam reflected from an object of which a holographic recording is made
Illumination beam
The beam from a coherent light source that is incident on an object when making a holographic recording of the object
Holographic image
The virtual image produced by the diffraction of a playback beam by a holographic plate recording
Reference beam
The part of the illumination beam that is transmitted by the beam splitter when making a holographic recording
Beam splitter
An optical component that partially transmits and partially reflects incident light
