Abstract
In a method of taking and reproducing photographs in which a hologram in the substrate of the photograph is superposed on the photograph and is produced, e.g., by the Lippmann-Bragg process by an object beam and a reference beam from the same light source, the object beam containing amplitude information corresponding to the photograph in such a manner that a corresponding image is formed at the same time on the substrate which corresponds to the hologram plane, and the aperture stop of image-forming optical system contains the object to be represented by the hologram. An optical phase modulator for producing a predetermined set of phase disturbances is provided between the aperture stop and the hologram plane.
