The Pulse Laser Studio

The Pulse Laser Studio

Artists from around the world come to the HoloCenter’s Pulse Laser Studio to make art holograms.

From 1998-2008 our studio was located in Long Island City, New York. In 2009 we moved the pulse laser to Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio where a new facility was constructed to house the studio. In 2012 the program was re-launched. We now offer both experienced holographic artists the opportunity to produce artwork for exhibition as well as an introductory five day workshop for artist and educators who wish to incorporate holography into their practice.

A ‘Pulse Laser’ enables holograms to be recorded of moving subjects, akin to a high-speed flash photograph. To make holograms of people a pulse laser is needed. To make the hologram a flash of laser light is split, and directed through optics and diffuses to illuminate the subject and the holographic film. The light recombines in the film to create an interference pattern that encodes the light reflected by the subject. The Pulse laser at Ohio State University is a 1 Joule JK-Ruby laser that emits red light (694nm).
