Holography as a science owes it's success to the recording of interference patterns in a variety ofrecording materials. Many ofthese materials are also used in the companion science of precision lithography. This paper discusses two important areas ofholography and lithography. Both make use of the novel imaging polymers of DuPont. We discuss here the manufacture of micro-diffusers for diverse optical applications and the creation ofphase holograms by contact lithographic methods using silver image amplitude holograms. Such copying methods are essentially incoherent using broad band UV light and bridge the gap between holography and lithography.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
