Osram PL450nm diode for Holography???

[arringtj]

Anyone try this single mode low power diode for holography yet??? :undecided:

I haven't heard of it used, Holography is something that has always interested me, but right now I can't get a stable enough set up to mess around with it. Have you done any holography before? If so what do you use for stabilizing/isolation?

My house was on concrete block, and the closest road wasn't all that busy. I'd set up a transmission hologram exposure setup like this one: http://static.ddmcdn.com/gif/hologram-16.gif

and then wait for late at night to do exposures. Turned out fine, with mounts just sitting on a linoleum'd concrete floor. Set up everything and let laser temp stabilize for like, 10 minutes or so. Probably not necessary.

Would the film/plates be sensitive to 450nm, or are they sensitive to any visible light?

I have a nice green 532nm Compass laser, but looking to add blue and red to do panchromatic full color plates. Film and plates are available in a couple of places. Dyes sensitize them to different laser lines. Red, Green and full color available. Ultimate plates are expensive but have best angle of view and diffraction efficiency.

I live on the 23rd floor. I don't think I'm ever going to get it stable enough here. I'm moving in 6 months though so I will probably get into it soon enough.

Full color holograms... that's beautiful! You said that red, green, and full color are available, do they not have blue specific plates?

 

[arringtj]

Yes, they have blue and blue-green sensitive plates.

 

[Katharina94]

I agree with you.

How do you get a long enough coherence length for holography from/using a diode laser?
