White Light Transmission Color Holography: A Review

A review of color holographic imaging techniques utilizing a white-light source is presented. These techniques consist of reflection holography, rainbow holography, spatial encoding, coherent and white-light speckle encoding, double-aperture encoding, a dual-beam encoding principle, incoherent spatial encoding, source encoding, and white-light Fourier holography. The holographic construction and reconstruction processes of these techniques are explained, and experimental demonstrations of the techniques are given.
