Holographic Optical Element (HOE)

an optical device that uses diffraction to shape a wavefront, as opposed to a refractive optical element (using materials with differing refractive indexes) that depends on refraction.

Hot-stamping foil

a thin material which is applied to paper or other substrate through the combination of heat and pressure. Hot-stamping foil can be used to support holographic images which can be transferred, using heat and pressure, onto another substrate such as paper or plastic....

High Refractive Index (HRI)

in situations where a transparent hologram is required, for instance as a laminate to cover the variable data of a passport or other ID document, instead of coating the holographic image with a metallic film, a transparent coating is made using a material with a High...

Hologram

the term ‘hologram’ is derived from two Greek words ‘holos’ meaning whole or complete and ‘graphos’ meaning an image. The term therefore describes a recorded image which is complete, in that it shows the whole volumetric space of...
