Holography is considered as one of the most remarkable discoveries in modern times. Nevertheless for its first decades it seems to be getting forgotten.

Originally stepped up back at the end of the 1940s to improve electron microscopy, it can not fulfill this function and the wish of its discoverer hungarian-british physicist Dennis Gábor. Due to sources of pure coherent light, which are indispensable for optical holography, being not yet available, not even Gábor himself can locate a field of application for this phenomenon. He can neither recognize at that point of time the meaning and the potential of his discovery and with it the influence this new medium would have on our daily lives one day. Nor can he imagine the plenty of phantasms emerging from this phenomenen. Phantasms, which seem to be mostly one step ahead of applied holography.

With the discovery of laser light at the beginning of the 1960s, for the first time ever it becomes possible to record and reconstruct a real three-dimensional image of an object. What once simply starts as a little rainbow coloured picture of a toy train, today finds its applications in a vast variety of different optical and acoustical fields.

It is as remarkable as the phenomenon of holography itself, that it could never prevail as a popular medium like movie, TV, radio, the internet, print media, etc. Especially when keeping in mind all the phantasmatic stories which emerge from this medium. A lot of dreams, hopes and promises that holography never made by itself, but some of them is trying to keep.

blog.holographie.eu accompanies my scientific work on holography, which would like to give holography an attention, that elsewhere is mostly refused to it. It is of course initially interested in based techniques and technologies of holography and how it works. Moreover it is also interested in these upcoming phantasms and their stories arising from possible abilities of holography. Especially against the backdrop of holography seems to be reaching a point, where its possibilities and abilities catch phantasms.

This blog would like to serve as a sketch book for unprotected ideas, of which some maybe become expanded, while others are not haunted any further, but wants to be told and should not be unmentioned forgotten.

Star Trek: TNG - We'll always have Paris

The Enterprise is on its journey to planet Sarona VII. After a time warp causes a déjà vu, the Enterprise receives a distress signal from scientific outpost Dr. Paul Manheims on Vandor IV. The Enterprise rescues the scientist and his wife Janice. She is an early love of Picard, who he has left her waiting in vain on a date. For Picard suffers under this incomplete love affair, he meets a holographic projection of Janice in the holodeck. After this attempt of a psychologic therapy fails, he make an appointment with real Janice in the holodeck, to complete the split of the relationship.

Star Trek: TNG - Skin of evil

Trying to rescue Counselor Troi, who has an accident on planet Vagra II, Tasha Yar gets killed by a black matter. At the end of the episode the crew of the Enterprise gathers in the holodeck for a funeral ceremony, in which she says farewell to each of the crew members.





The holodeck distinguishes between projections of living and dead humans. Tasha Yar‘s projection does not appear as a familia image. Her transparent image reminds more of the appearance of a ghost. For the projection is a recorded message, it stays mysterious, how Tasha knows the position of each person she is talking to.
