Any way of easily doing holograms...?

Question

..using a digital camera..found lots of sites that describe in detail producing interferograms using film with split-beam mini lasers, but nothing for digital set up.

Answer 1

I Don't Think the Spacing of the CCD Elements Are Suitable for Holography.

Answer 2

I helped make holograms back in 1983. Techniques have improved since then. You can now make full-colour moving holograms that can be viewed in daylight. Here is the technique we used; the simplest, most basic. You need a very solid bench, that won't even move or vibrate a tenth of a micron. A laser; just a low-power optical pointer will do. A half-silvered mirror to split your laser beam into two parts; one part illuminates your still object on the bench. The other part, the reference beam, combines with the reflected beam to form an interference pattern on your film or photographic plate. All this is set up in a darkroom. You don't need a camera or lens. The reflected and reference beams form their interference pattern directly on the film. The film should have a very fine grain. You give it a time exposure. After you've developed the negative, you illuminate it from behind with the same laser you used to make the hologram and the 3-D image should be visible. The first hologram I ever saw was in 1967 and it was a picture of a micrometer, made this way. It looked like the real thing, floating in mid-air. Soon we'll probably have CCD chips large enough, cheap enough and of high enough resolution so you'll be able to use a similar method to make moving holograms at home.
