Teaching holography: holography as a teaching tool
Paper Abstract
The holo-diagram is a diagram originally designed as a tool for teaching the making and evaluation
of holograms. It was soon found to include much more general uses than first expected. During the 20
years since its introduction we have applied this diagram to explain many different fields such as
holography, interferometry, diffraction. Fermat's principle, light-in-flight recordings, threedimensional
measurements with ultrashort lightpulses and the special theory of relativity.
