Holographic Diffraction Gratings: RAINBOW PAINTING Technically, all holograms are diffraction gratings, so named because a hologram is formed of microscopic diffraction patterns which reflect or bend the viewing light. We've explored this diffractive nature of holograms to develop diffraction gratings which are based on light as the holographic object. Specifically designed holograms shape laser and white light into stunning and powerful geometric patterns. Other holographic effects create the spectral smears of lumia, such as the background holographic image on this page. We've used diffraction gratings to create layers of holographic space within our holograms. We've made Holographic Optical Elements, (HOE's) that work as optics. Using farfield diffraction holograms, we've projected rainbows of light onto solid spaces. We've also developed holographic diffraction gratings for use in laser scanning, as pictured on the videos on this page. The backdrop image on this page pictures a multicolored reflection hologram composed of diffractive effects achieved in part through swelling and shrinking the emulsion with triethanolmine before exposure.

The black and white jpeg pictures a transmission hologram designed as a holographic diffraction grating based on Sacred Geometry. This large series of holograms can be viewed illuminated as a hologram, or used to diffract laser light into geometric patterns. |

Large Format Transmission Diffraction Gratings The diffraction hologram pictured above, with a parallax view, left, hint at the depth and kinetic colors of one of our large format transmission holograms, In Other Worlds, by Nancy Gorglione. This white light illuminated large hologram was created by optically manipulating holographic diffraction gratings. A third view of this hologram is directly below on the left. |

A version of Astral Gates, above, shows a grouping of transmission diffraction grating holograms, each illuminated by a different type of light source. The top left image, In Other Worlds, is here illuminated with a point source white light, plus partial illumination from a mercury arc lamp. The transmission diffraction hologram below left, is illuminated with a white light point source- A Stagecraft PeeWee quartz halogen light. The two holograms above, right, are geometric diffraction holograms illuminated by a mercury arc lamp. The middle left hologram also has partial HeNe laser illunination. The transmission hologram, bottom right, is illuminated by red laser light. |

Two Reflection Hologram Composites by Nancy Gorglione utilize a number of holographic diffraction effects within their imagery. The holograms, far left, contain geometric diffraction gratings and both pieces contain linear gratings. |

The Language of Light
What is the Language of Light referred to throughout this site? A prosy statement, for without very specific lights, we'd have no holographic images. Our whole view is composed of resonant molecules whose diffraction of light makes reality visible. The eye holds unattached rods and cones - "junk rods and cones" like "junk DNA" - which are unattached to the optic nerve. Herein lies the visual apparatus of potential evolution. And, the Language of Light is the very specific visual patterning which facilitates evolution of body, speech and mind.
Horses see in both infrared and ultraviolet. "If you can see it, then its not there." So say my horses, Dzogchen Masters all.
"We project each other out of light, Then quickly learn to fight For what we think is real."
Hertok in "The Keys of Enoch" defined the Language of Light
as certain languages, Hebrew, Tibetan and Sanskrit, as holding the actual
resonance for the meanings of the words. Greg Braden helps define
Language of Light by interpreting the sets that Crop Patterns fall
within:
In our work with holographic diffraction and laser light, we have explored Sacred Geometry, ray paths and mathematical constants to create laser devices. Based on
variants of the Language of Light, these devices facilitate upliftment.
