Yuri Denisyuk :
Pioneer of modern holography
The eminent Russian gentleman and physicist Yuri Denisyuk (1927-2006) together with Emmett Leith (1927-2005) and Juris Upatnieks (b. 1936) must be honoured as one of the pioneers of modern holography. After lasers became available Denisyuk developed "volume reflection holography" rightfully also called "Denisyuk holography".
Denisyuk began experiments in interference photography in 1958 and published his work in 1962 in the Soviet Union. But his research was not well received until the work of Leith and Upatnieks began to generate excitement in the late sixties. In 1970 he was awarded the Lenin Prize and was elected a member of the Soviet Academy of Sciences. Denisyuk and Leith received the first Dennis Gabor Award from SPIE in 1983.
