Laser Chakra Device
A Rainbow of Colored Laser Lights, 6
small lasers contained in a portable unit, are holographically patterned
in spiraling colors. Audiences and guests love to dance in this laser
chakra device. They report increased energy and vigor. This device has
the sheer beauty to uplift, bringing internal feelings of well-being,
bliss and joy.

Sparkle Light Laser Systems & Custom Laser
Projector Design and Fabrication
Side-by-side with our development of holography as Cherry Optical Holography, we've developed laser
projection equipment. Our laser devices utilize
analog and digital control. They also feature unique-in-the-World
holographic diffraction effects.
We produce our own
laser shows, some of which are pictured here. We're also the engineers behind
many laser shows in our area. From beam shows to complex scanning, we produce Custom Laser
Projector Design and Fabrication.
The central image with black backdrop pictures scanning from a Sparkle
Light Projector with a 360 degree beam sweep.
The background image pictures a
multicolored laser beam array. (And a stack of multi-image projectors.) |

Laser Beam Arrays
Complex Laser Beam Arrays are a specialty:
Canopies of Laser Light;
Rays of Laser Light;
Virtual Buildings of Laser Light.
Currently, we are partners in a 50 Watt WHITE LIGHT laser system.
Greg Cherry is the optical engineer of a three-laser white light system,
available for laser shows.

engineer for the Fortress New Year's Eve.

The Laser & Percussion Orchestra
We
have produced many laser light shows for ourselves and others.
The Laser & Percussion Orchestra
is a creative organization of Laser Light Show Artists, Drummers and
Percussionists who drum and dance together under the laser lights.

Percussion Orchestra" outdoors in a Town Square. Drummers and dancers in
front of rear-projected white light digital scanning and green Sparkle
Light Laser Effects.

Mandalas of Visual Sound
Cherry Optical's Sparkle Light Laser Systems can create central mandala
images and paisley patterns that move and change shapes synchronized with
music.
Pictured, right, central image Sparkle
Light Laser System forming a zone plate mandala. The background repeated
image pictures red, blue and green lasers scanned through holographic
diffraction gratings. |

Lamia, and Song of
Ages.
Lumia effects are fluid laser effects that form infinite
multidimensional lighting scenes.

The background image pictures Water Dance
from Song of Ages, McKenna Theater, SF State University, by Nancy
Gorglione with Laser Affiliates. Seven dancers
choreographed movements wearing specially dyed chemiluminescent light. They
danced in front of laser
scanning & lumia effects .A ten piece jazz orchestra played original
music by Heikki Koskinen.
Song of Ages was part of the Light Sound
Motion Performance Series, which we produced for many years. The
Light Sound Motion Performance Series were creative collaborations in
performance, seeking to synchronize light, sound and motion. The performances
were very powerful and beautiful.

Holographic Diffraction Effects
Holographic diffraction effects bend
laser light into specific patterns. We've made a large series of holograms
which replicate sacred geometry, which we call Language of Light.
The black and white image shows a Holographic Diffraction Grating forming complex geometry of light in
space. The central blue image shows analog scanning of a blue argon laser beam
through the Gratings.

Laser Beam Chopping & Pulsing, Dicing and (no) Slicing.
The laser scanning from Cherry
Optical's Sparkle Light Projectors can chop and pulse the beam into
powerful kinetic dot patterns, which can have pulse and time correlations
to sound.

Analog Scanning of Argon, HeNe and Yag Beams,
thru Holographic Diffraction Gratings. Plus,
a Dichroic Projection.

Dichroic Projections
Using kinetic sculpture and
mechanized optical filters designed by Greg and Nancy, we can
monochromatically color special slide transparencies as part of
multi-image shows.
Here, dichroic projected images of birds. The central image of laser
scanning and dichroic imagery from Light Sound Motion Performance, No
Show, at the Mission Cultural Center, SF.

holographic optical elements. Center, 9' X 13' Marquee to California Color, group

rainbows of light projected across surface. Background: Ferns, the
hologram used to project the rainbow onto the entrance way. |

Magic:
Nancy Gorglione, holographic and laser artist, is
also a poet, who has written ten books, including "The Holographic Model
for Enlightenment." She's a musician and sonic healer. Her teachers are on the Nini
webpage, with further performance philosophy on
Holographic Reflections
On Changing Times.
Nancy has spent her
lifetime synchronizing light and sound, with magic
in mind. |

Language
of Light Laser Scan
The center image is of
Greg Cherry sitting in front of a
computer composite screen full of very specific geometric holographic
diffraction patterns illuminated by laser light. The border images
illustrate multicolor lasers diffracting through other "Language of
Light" holographic patterns. Greg is a superior electro-optics prototype
model maker, for the most incredible holographic laser scanning in the world. |
