This book is incredible, it explains all you need to know about holograms and how to do them.
Very good reference

Mr Iovine provides an excellent resource for building relatively inexpensive devices for creating holograms. From isolation table to power supply with pictorials, schematics and sufficient information about the technology to assist each step taken. A star omitted due to dated source information.
Excellent practical introduction

The majority of do-it-yourself holography books have at least one major flaw. These range from "you can do this on a sand table" (sand and optics do not mix, sir!) to "now, from the Laplace transform of the spatial function we can see" (maybe *he* can see it, but non-physicists can't.)Iovine's book has none of these flaws. He just explains how to do holography with minimum equipment and expense. It's a practical book. Holography can be expensive if you're just going to try it out, but Iovine shows you how to cut the costs by building your own laser, your own optical table, beam shutter, and how to use film rather than plates.If you want theory, he has a fine -- short -- and intelligible explanation of why it works, with no mathematics required.I've got Saxby, Unterseher and Iovine on the book shelf of the optics lab. They're all classical texts in their own right, but only one of them is dog-eared, and it's Iovine.
