Whats the difference between PFG-01, PFG-03m, VRP, and PFG-03C emulsions?
PFG-01 and PFG-03M plates require red laser light for making holograms and can make reflection and transmission holograms. Use PFG-03 plates (processed with JD-4) if you want to make the especially high quality reflection holograms viewable with white light. PFG-01 plates and film (processed with JD-2 or -3), on the other hand, make fairly good white light viewable reflection holograms and excellent transmission holograms. If you have green or blue laser light, use VRP plates (and process with JD-2). If you have the luxury of red, green, and blue lasers, use PFG-03C to make full color holograms. The detailed method of doing this can be found in the March/April (1996) issue of the Journal of Imaging Science and Technology.
