Holography
Advantages
- Images to a point with no aberrations
- Aberration control possible
- Highly dispersive
- Optical power on a flat surface
- Off-axis geometry
- Can be transmissive or reflective
- Narrowband response
- Can be replicated
Disadvantages
- High dispersion
- Large aberration away from construction conditions
- Efficient over small wavelength band
- Limited design flexibility
- Difficulty with control of holographic emulsions
