Photopolymer
Photopolymer is a light sensitive plastic that can be used to make holograms. The material lends itself to mass reproduction and forms a commercial bridge between embossed holography for millions of copies and silver-halide holograms for small runs. The images are made using a high powered Argon laser and are copied from a "sub- master" hologram using a scanning laser beam.
The finished product is normally a single colour (red, yellow or green) and produces clean bright, easily viewable holograms. Multicolored and full colour copies have been made but are still rare and expensive. Three colour, i.e. full colour, photopolymer hologram requires red, green and blue lasers, and are difficult and expensive to produce at this time.
