What is the simplest possible setup for producing hologram *using lasers* at home ?


Is it possible to use doller-store laser pointer as light source, ordinary glass-sheet as beam splitter and ordinary mirrors as laser reflectors and a usual film camera as laser film ? Are there any other simple alternatives for film ?

A cheapo laser pointer will probably not provide enough power. Once you spread the beam (you need a lens as well) it will greatly loose power. You CAN use laser pointers to make holograms, you just need a more powerful one and the depth you can record may not be a good as a more powerful laser. A cheap $10 one should work, I just doubt a dollar store one would.

Now, for using glass as a beam splitter. I have heard of people using specially coated glass that is easy to get that results in a close to 50-50 split. Regular glass is probably more like 10-90 and is probably not suitable.

Using a regular mirror is probably a bad idea as well. A good quality mirror for laser optics is going to be front coated. A regular mirror is back coated which means you will get 2 reflections, one off the glass and one off the reflective coating on the back. For holograms this would be bad since you want just 1 reference beam and object beam. The other reflection might interfere.

You will still have to buy the film though. Regular film doesn't have a high enough resolution. You might be able to find high enough quality film but it's likely to cost the same or more than the specially made holographic plates will.

You can make holograms for cheap though. If you're going to do it you might as well spend a little on it. Search on eBay and you should be able to find some good optics for cheap. It doesn't take much.

As far as simplest setup, I've seen people using styrofoam cups filled with sand to minimize vibrations. The laser pointer was held with a clothespin stuck in the sand. The other optics were arranged in the same fashion. You will most likely have to wait until the dead of night and do it on a sturdy surface for any chance in it working. Any vibrations will throw the whole thing off. Even a truck driving by.

Khet Eye of Horus Laser Beam Splitter 2-Pack


Khet Eye of Horus Laser Beam Splitter 2-Pack


$11.95


You've already been captivated by Khet, the innovative laser-beam strategy game. Now you can add a whole new dimension to the game with the Eye of Horus Beam Splitter expansion pack. It contains two beam-spliting game pieces, one silver and one red, that have a semi-transparent mirrored coating, which reflects half the light that hits it and transmits the other half. An incoming laser beam gets split in two! With both game pieces in play, a beam can be split twice -- once by one piece and then again by the other piece -- blasting three beams around the board with one push of your laser button! Suddenly there are more ways to zap your opponent's pharaoh, but more ways for him to zap yours too -- so watch out! Each expansion pack comes with a full-color booklet including brand new starting setups and an explanation of the science of beam-splitting. High-tech strategy doubles with a single blink of the Eye of Horus -- as does your fun!
