ABSTRACT

This chapter investigates the possibilities offered by including conventional focusing optics in a holographic setup. There are two broadly related situations. The first involves the insertion of lenses into the space where you are making a hologram: it includes the magnification and demagnification of holographic images, as well as the effects of placing lenses in the object space. The second is concerned with holograms of images formed by conventional optics, usually called focused-image holograms, and one-step white-light-viewable holographic images.
