Biographies of Holographers
The backgrounds of holographers are extremely varied, as can be seen below. Without these people's tireless efforts, holography would have remained a mere laboratory curiosity, rarely to be seen elsewhere. As a result of their work, holographic techniques are more and more frequently used in science, technology, medicine, measurement and art. With the advent of lower cost lasers and recording materials, and also due to the work of the dedicated holographic popularizers among those listed below, there is a small but growing international community of amateur holographers, and it is not uncommon to have hands-on holography courses presented in elementary schools.
This project is designed to collect in one place biographical info on all of the people who have made holography possible. Please feel free to post your biographies here. If you know a name but don't know the details, just add the name and we will work on getting a biography.
