140 words
A method of producing a high resolution infrared hologram with the aid of a digital computer comprising defining mathematically a final infrared hologram by specifying mathematically a first object beam and a first reference beam at a fist wavelength, determining a computer generated hologram (CGH) by calculating a reconstructed wavefront from said mathematically defined IR hologram at a second wavelength by computer calculation using the Welford equation, interfering mathematically said reconstructed wavefront with a second reference beam to determine said CGH by computer calculations at said second wavelength, physically implementing the determined CGH, and then reconstructing by a reconstruction beam at the second wavelength and conjugate to the second reference beam, creating a distorted wavefront, and making the said final IR hologram by mixing said reconstruction wavefront with a beam conjugate to said first reference beam at said second wavelength.
