FIND DIFFERENT TECHNOLOGIES THAT USE LASERS?

Use the Internet to search "lasers" and list the different products that you can find.

Many of you have seen holograms. Many stickers that "flicker" are actually holographic images. There are artists that specialize in holograms. Holograms are made by lasers. But how are they made. Search the web for "holograms" and see if you can understand what and how holograms are made. The picture and information below were found searching the web. After your search, see if you can explain how a hologram is made with your own words. Write them down in the space provided.

HOW IS A HOLOGRAM MADE?

The custom artwork is then sent to our holography laboratory where the holographer creates and combines the necessary photographic and holographic elements to produce a "master" hologram on special photosensitive emulsions.

As with all holograms, the multidimensional image is recorded as a unique "interference pattern" which is created using laser light and precision optical techniques.
