Computer-generated holography (CGH) is a technique that uses computer algorithms to generate holograms.It involves generating holographic interference patterns.A computer-generated hologram can be displayed on a dynamic holographic display, or it can be printed onto a mask or film using lithography.

The hologram keeps the information on the amplitude and phase of the field. Several holograms may keep information about the same distribution of light, emitted to various directions. The numerical analysis of such holograms allows one to emulate large numerical aperture, which, in turn, enables enhancement of the resolution of optical microscopy.
Since its introduction, vibrometry by holographic interferometry has become commonplace. Powell and Stetson have shown that the fringes of the time-averaged hologram of a vibrating object correspond to the zeros of the Bessel function (), where (,) is the modulation depth of the phase modulation of the optical field at , on the object.

Such a hologram recorded in a silver halide gelatin emulsion by red laser light will usually display a green image. Deliberate temporary alteration of the emulsion thickness before exposure, or permanent alteration after processing, has been used by artists to produce unusual colours and multicoloured effects.
Unlike conventional wavefront holograms, specular holograms do not depend on wave optics, photographic media, or lasers. The principle of operation is purely one of geometric optics: A point light source produces a glint on a curved specular (shiny) surface; this glint appears to travel on the surface as the eye or light source moves.
The rainbow hologram (also known as Benton hologram) is a type of hologram that was invented in 1968 by Dr. Stephen A. Benton at Polaroid Corporation (later MIT). [1] Rainbow holograms are designed to be viewed under white light illumination, rather than laser light which was required before this.
Edgar D. Mitchell and Robert Staretz developed a quantum hologram theory of consciousness which views information as being as fundamental to the universe as matter or energy. This theory hypothesizes that all material objects as well as organisms store information, and that objects emit waves containing information which can be recognized and ...
Digital holography is the acquisition and processing of holograms with a digital sensor array, [1] [2] typically a CCD camera or a similar device. Image rendering, or reconstruction of object data is performed numerically from digitized interferograms.
