How Holograms Work, How the Holographic Interference Pattern is Recorded, the Intensity Captured by Traditional Photography vs the Complex Wavefront (Optical Wavefront) Captured by Holographic Photography, and the Reason an Observer Can View a Hologram Intactly From Virtually Any Angle

Holograms are simple; they are merely light beams which create interference to produce a three dimensional image. This interference pattern is recorded, either upon a photosensitive material or digitally, and when illuminated again under the right conditions, it reconstructs the light field, making the object appear three dimensional. Unlike traditional photographs which capture only intensity, holography preserves both the intensity and phase of the light waves alike. This is what gives hologra...
