HOLOGRAMS are 3-D images which
are projected & captured on a 2-D surface. The term was coined
from 'holos' (Greek word) meaning 'whole' and 'gramma' meaning
'message'. The process of recording image is holography. The
hologram holds different information about the object being
recorded. Size, shape, brightness and contrast of the object are
some such inputs that the hologram has in microscopic and complex
pattern of interference. This interference pattern is made by the
properties of light, which are generated by a laser. Holograms
cannot be copied accurately & invariably, hence they are the
perfect counterfeiting tool and they serve as an effective detection
feature.
Holograms are made in different assorted styles and types and every
hologram has it's own individual technique for production. Some
require a laser to view, while others a regular light. Some show
motion, while some have changing images as one moves the hologram.
They can be in full-color, in changing color and even project the
image out in space toward the viewer. The holograms are sensitivity
to vibration and the holographic plates are highly sensitive and
record every a single wavelength of light. An hologram can be
divided into small pieces and it still retains the entire image of
the object.
Hologram have gained much popularity all over the world because of
the safety & counterfeiting-proof benefits that manufacturers
and consumers gain. Holograms not only enhance entire packaging and
make the product look more attractive but the most of all is that
they ensure security and safety of products as an
anti-counterfeiting measure.
