The conference is not limited to the visible parts of
the electromagnetic spectrum but also the emerg-
ing area of matter waves, e.g. holographic neutron
optics. The conference accepts submission dealing
with recording media and processing methods, ap-
plications and signal processing. Talks describing
commercial materials, systems and applications are
encouraged While all aspects of holography (aca-
demic and commercial) are of interest we strongly
encourage submissions dealing with novel appli-
cation and the optical engineering aspects of ho-
lography. This conference is dedicated to bringing
together a multidisciplinary and international mix-
ture of research professionals, developers and us-
ers of holographic techniques, devices and systems
including students and those in product develop-
ment and senior management positions.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
• advances in holographic techniques (materials,
  algorithms, devices and systems)
• holographic interference techniques for
  fabrication and metrology
• digital holography: the capture, transmission,
  processing and electronic storage of
  holograms
• computer generated holograms and diffractive
  optics: modelling and analysis

  interferometric data
• holography in nanotechnology
• novel materials and their characterization
