Dennis Gabor

Dennis Gabor CBE, FRS

Hungarian: Gábor Dénes;

5 June 1900 – 9 February 1979

was a Hungarian-British electrical engineer and physicist,

most notable for inventing holography,

for which he later received the 1971 Nobel Prize in Physics

Holography is the science and practice of making holograms.

Typically, a hologram is a photographic recording of a light field,

rather than of an image formed by a lens,

and it is used to display a fully three-dimensional image of the holographed subject,

which is seen without the aid of special glasses or other intermediate optics.

The hologram itself is not an image and it is usually unintelligible when viewed under diffuse ambient light.

It is an encoding of the light field as an interference pattern of seemingly random variations in the opacity, density, or surface profile of the photographic medium.

When suitably lit, the interference pattern diffracts the light into a reproduction of the original light field and the objects that were in it appear to still be there, exhibiting visual depth cues such as parallax and perspective that change realistically with any change in the relative position of the observer.
