New Film Revives 3D Holography For
Authentication
The world of three-dimensional holography has been quite dormant over recent years save for its continued progress in security packaging, credit cards, and other types of authentication.

Fuji Hunt will be displaying a wide range of products - as yet unveiled - at Focus on Imaging 2004 - claiming it is its most comprehensive portfolio to date.
Fujifilm of Japan has entered the holographic film market with what it claimed to be the highest quality, highest consistency and highest speed film now available.
Branded Fujifilm F HL and distributed exclusively in the Europe, Africa and Middle East regions by Fujifilm subsidiary Fuji Hunt, this media is said to be three to four times faster than any other holographic film currently available.
That means there is less exposure time needed, less chance of vibration, and a far brighter image, added the company.

Fuji Put Gloss On Inkjet Photo Paper
Fujifilm Photo Glossy Paper 240 has been introduced by Fuji Hunt Digital Solutions.
The Fujifilm F HL film, which will be available from July 1 via the Fuji Hunt website, it will initially be directed to holographic display applications, which is an area in which the film's consistency will play an important role, believes the company.
Whereas until now two batches - or even two boxes - of film could never be guaranteed to be of the same configuration, and thereby ensure consistency, the Fujifilm product does exactly that, claimed the company.
The company's history of producing photographic film has provided the basis for manufacturing the panchromatic, photosensitive silver halide emulsion, which is coated on a tri-acetate cellulose base.
The film's claimed high sensitivity, fine grain and low noise make it suitable for producing masters as well as reflection or transmission transfers.
"It is Fujifilm's belief that 3D images will be an integral part of the future of imaging," said Greg Jackson, sales director of Fuji Hunt's holography programme.
"It is for this reason that the company has invested deeply in holographic R and D and utilised its unique experience in the field of film coating and production.
As a result, the Fujifilm F HL film incorporates all the benefits of Fujifilm photographic film, which have been configured to produce the highest possible quality for superb results," he added.
And he continued: "The availability of this high standard film is likely to regenerate a great deal of activity and interest in the holography field, bringing together academic and scientific applications with more visually artistic uses, such as will be found in works of art as well as for advertising, signage, commercial imaging and printing purposes." Jackson will be expanding on the application of Fujifilm F HL film technology for the display holographic market when he makes a presentation at the seventh International Symposium on Display Holography being staged from July 10-14 at the Optic centre in North Wales.
Fuji Hunt will also be participating in the exhibition area of the event.
