Batiz, ZoltanChauhan, Bhag C.2012-03-052012-03-052011-09-23http://hdl.handle.net/11007/381In this work we present a mathematical description of how one can produce and read a thin hologram. We use different kinds of waves, such as scalar, vector (electromagnetic field, Maxwell-Proca fields, acoustic waves, etc.). For reading of the hologram, we use the Green’s function formalism. With the help of computer simulations, we investigate the aberrations created by this procedure for the simplest case: 2d-scalar wave case.enPhysics of different kinds of wavesHolographic mapping and readingComputer generated holographyMaking the hologramHologram readingGreen’s functionDimensionalityArbitrary massGreen’s function formalism of holography with arbitrary mass, spin, and dimensionalityArticle
