I'm curious what people's opinions are on using the laser diodes in the 650-658nm range are compared with the shorter wavelength ones. It seems that all of the 35mw diodes run at 650-658nm, but I'm wondering if my holograms will look better with a 15mw laser at 640nm instead. Is the perceived brightness of a reflection hologram made at 658nm really that much brighter than one made with a 640nm one? -Brian

You can shift the replay wavelength of a reflection hologram to any desired frequency with your processing. 64.167.148.15

prensensitize with TEA. 209.179.146.194

Or with pfg-01 the exposure time controls the playback frequency. For transmision holograms you are stuck with the lasers frequency. Since the usual use for a transmision hologram is in h1 to h2 copies I have not found this to be a problem since the h2 is often a rainbow hologram or a reflection hologram. 64.167.148.15

Colin, I have never heard of PFG-01 changing it's re-play wavelength with different exposure times, please let me know where you saw this. 991237254@nu.ac.za 146.230.128.29

Charles, It is a regular exercise in my studio, but, I believe it is the bleach in the JD-2 developing sequence. It is the method Dr. Jeong recomends for JD-2. I think it removes all of the developed silver causing the emultion to shrink. I would have to reread the chapter on bleaching in Silver-Halide Recording Materials to know for sure. If you really want me to email me at colinsk@pacbell.net and I will research it further. 64.170.193.81

Colin, you�re right; the replay wavelengh is increased indeed. I think that is a problem owing to the image�s brightness: exposure time influences the brightness - so can i ever make a green _and_ bright hologram ? 145.253.2.238

I'm extremely interested in holography. Just wondering if anyone would be willing to help a guy get started. What kind of equipment would I need?(basics). Any help would be greatly apprecited!? Thanks! Ben crazy93446@tcsn.net 172.193.153.104
