Abstract

Optimization of a thermoplastic film recording camera and its performance for holography of extended objects are reported. Special corona geometry and accurate control of development heat by constant current heating and high-resolution measurement of the development temperature enable easy recording of reproducible, large aperture holograms. Experimental results for transfer characteristics, diffraction efficiency characteristics, and spatial frequency response are given.
