Holography Transmission Equations
Funny to see this item on HN. I taught holography with Steve Benton at MIT, and put together a few of the documents available at MIT Open Courseware referenced in the document. The material is pretty specific to the optics of diffractive elements. I have a bunch of great Tcl&#x2F;Tk holography demo apps I used with the course that I need to port to something that isn&#x27;t Tcl&#x2F;Tk.<p>Sadly, much of Steve&#x27;s pioneering work in holography at Polaroid and later with the Spatial Imaging Group at MIT predated the blossoming of the world wide web (and &quot;pre Google&quot;) and thus has been lost to history.<p>I am pleased to see work in autostereoscopic displays, computer-based optical predistortion and light fields - all of which Steve and Spatial Imaging did some neat stuff to develop - continues.<p>Steve would have loved the Looking Glass display. &quot;Lovely!&quot;
