Abstract

SummaryHolography was originally invented for the purpose of magnifying electron microscopic images without spherical aberration and has been applied to photography for recording and reconstructing three-dimensional objects. Although it has been attracting scientists and ordinary people in the world, it is still a technology in science fiction movies. In this review, we discuss a new version of holography that uses surface plasmons on thin metal film. We discuss conventional holography and its drawbacks, such as overlapping of ghost and background due to the contribution of unnecessary diffraction and monochromacy for avoiding the unwanted diffraction components of different colors. Surface-plasmon holography is a version of near-field holography to overcome drawbacks of conventional holography. Comparison with conventional and volume holography for color reconstruction is discussed in reciprocal lattice space. Localized mode of surface plasmons and meta-surface holography are also reviewed, and feature perspectives and issues are discussed.
