ITMO Scientists Develop New Polymer Holograms
…The new holograms reflect light in the same way the original item they've been made copy of would. The technology for that was developed several decades ago; to achieve this effect, an object is first highlighted by a laser, and then the returned radiation is registered by a special photographic element. As result, two types of electromagnetic waves emerge: ones that…
