Abstract

The invention relates to hologram synthesis using a two-dimensional lattice of basic holograms, each basic hologram being formed from a two-dimensional transparency. It provides a synthetic field hologram that has a diffraction efficiency unimpared by the number of basic holograms employed. The hologram may be reconstructed in white light. The method and hologram are useful in making and reconstructing holographic land maps.
