Recording noise gratings with single-beam exposures in bleached silver halide emulsions is used as a holographic spectroscopy technique in order to analyse and optimize photochemical processing. In particular, rehalogenating type bleachings are analysed by measuring the transmittance through the recorded…

A statistical model is used to study the formation of noise gratings in holograms and the mechanism that causes radiation scattering in them. The theoretical model presented describes noise scattering in terms of diffraction due to the high number of…

By applying Gaussian optics we propose a new matrix formula model for intraocular lens (IOL) calculation that yields not only IOL optical power for a particular eye but also an evaluation of the bending factor of different IOL optical designs.…

An experimental analysis of noise gratings in holographic lenses is presented. Lenses are recorded as thick-phase holograms in bleached silver halide emulsion. The authors calculated noise grating efficiency by using the diffraction efficiency in points across a lens diameter. They…

Realistic mathematical models are of great importance for studying the optical performance of the human eye. Light propagation algorithms provide robust methods to calculate field distributions inside a homogeneous medium, and thus they can be applied to the study of…

We propose a two step method which enables us to obtain transmission Holographic Optical Elements of high diffraction efficiency as well as a good signal-to-noise relation. By means of a device using partially coherent light, a master Holographic Optical Element…

The authors have developed a simple method to compare the colour gamuts of
different industries (printing, textiles, plastics, etc.) based on representing the reproduced
colours in constant lightness L* and hue hab* planes. This method allows the analysis of those

Based on the results of the coupled-wave theory the diffraction efficiency is calculated for thick phase transmission holographic gratings taking into account the chemical processing of the recording material. Three effects of processing are considered: variations in the average refractive…

The experimental results of diffraction efficiency as a function of the geometrical disposition of recording beams in bleached silver halide transmission thick-holographic gratings are presented. Two variables have been used to relate these results with certain geometric parameters. These variables…

This paper deals with diffuse-object holograms recorded in silver halide sensitized gelatin. Both the diffraction efficiency and the signal-to-noise ratio when reconstruction is done with different wavelengths are measured. The experimental results we obtained show that new theoretical models for…
