Follow us on LinkedIn -- Hologram can be defined as a type of photographic image offering 3-D effect. The holography technique is used to produce holograms, and is also used for optically storing, processing and retrieving information. Holographic technology is utilized in industrial applications for quality control in production and fracture testing, such as holographic nondestructive testing. Holographic technology is also used in civilian and military aircrafts, which utilizes ‘heads-up' displays. Holographic elements, which are utilized in a range of industrial machines, results in the manufacture of less-expensive, smaller and more effective machines. The technology is adopted for specialized applications in the production of aircrafts and automobiles, television, telecommunications, computing and designing of assembly and scanning.
Holographic nondestructive testing (HNDT) is used for locating and evaluating disbonds, cracks, voids, inhomogeneity, residual stresses, and delaminations in a test sample without damage to the sample. HNDT is also used for measuring deformations on the surface of an object. The holographic interferometry technique is applied for nondestructive testing of materials. Holographic Interferometry (HI) is a surface inspection technique to measure the dynamic and static displacement of optically rough objects at precisions equal to a fraction of light wavelength (optical interferometric precisions).
Holographic scanners contain multiple lenses capable of focusing at different distances and reading bar codes from any angle and height. Holographic scanning technology is widely used in large scan areas in warehouse distribution, packaging, and material handling. In particular, holographic scanning is gaining rapid popularity in material handling applications. Advancements in holographic technology will drive the adoption of this technology in material handling. CD-sized holodisks are likely to emerge as innovative and cost effective holographic scanners in the coming years.
