Crowd-fund & share your passion

[thycore]

Hey !

When I was trying to find money to buy a a new power supply for a laser, it came to my mind that I never tried crowd-funding before.

Guess what, I gave it a try : https://fr.ulule.com/holographie-laser/

And... it worked ! I reached my initial goal in like 2 days !

This campaign is aimed at french people, therefore my video & explanations are for french people but.. hey, if you ever need the same, give it a try for yourself !

I made it so that in counterpart of contributors I'll send a reflection hologram recorded on a glass plate (which is fair).

So yeah, don't hesitate to crowd-share your passion for holography, there are definitely people outthere who may want to share your dreams !

The holograms shown in your examples video are brilliant! Very concrete looking, truly like a window into a box with the real object!

What type of laser and formulation are you currently using? Are these all recorded based on transmission masters?

These are simple reflection deniyusuk holograms
No transmission / master here

I used :

Plates from Yves Gentet’s Ultimate U08M with R
Sensitivity and 70nm preshift ( makes the developed hologram yellow-green instead of red)

Laser is a Hene uniphase 1125 which I believe to be something like 5-6 mW and not polarized.

Exposure time is approx 10 secs on a very stable set-up

Developer chemistry is the one provided with plates. Developing time 4 minutes

Bleach also comes from Ultimate-holography. Bleaching time 3 minutes

I made a remote control laser shutter with an arduino and a step motor which rotates a cardboard.
