Illuminating Transmission Holograms with LEDs

LED lights can be used to illuminate an image plane transmission hologram.
The band width of a LED is about 20-30 nm, so 10-15 times narrower than the entire visible spectrum (300 nm)
The depth of the following image is 8 cm.

as seen when illuminated from behind with a LUXEON® LED
Dimension of the hologram: 15 x 25 cm
Dimension of the frame: 25 x 35 cm
Depth of the image: 8 cm (4 cm in the front and 4 cm behind the holographic film)
Material: Slavich PFG-03C
Laser: Ar+, 514 nm

Denisyuk Hologram

Dimension of the hologram: 15 x 25 cm.
Depth of the image: 8 cm, behind the holographic film).
Material: Slavich PFG-03C.
Laser:  Diode Laser from Analog Technologies, 639 nm, 30mW.
