HOLOGRAPHIC DIFFRACTION GRATINGS

 

 

The video shows a fleeting glimpse of Holographic Projections of Analog Scanning of a seven pointed star from Cherry Optical's Sparkle Light Laser System. The black and white imagery surrounding the video is a still image of laser light through one of our holographic diffraction gratings.

 

 

 

Laser Chakra Device

A Rainbow of Colored Laser Lights, 6 small lasers contained in a portable unit, are holographically patterned in spiraling colors. Audiences and guests love to dance in this laser chakra device. They report increased energy and vigor. This device has the sheer beauty to uplift, bringing internal feelings of well-being, bliss and joy.

 

The background image pictures a multicolor laser beam array.

Sparkle Light Laser Systems & Custom  Laser Projector Design and Fabrication

 

Side-by-side with our development of holography as  Cherry Optical Holography, we've developed laser projection equipment. Our laser devices utilize analog and digital control. They also feature unique-in-the-World holographic diffraction effects.

 

We  produce our own laser shows, some of which are pictured here. We're also the engineers behind many laser shows in our area. From beam shows to complex scanning, we produce Custom  Laser Projector Design and Fabrication.

 

The central image with black backdrop pictures scanning from a Sparkle Light Projector with a 360 degree beam sweep.

 

The background image pictures a multicolored laser beam array. (And a stack of multi-image projectors.)

Laser Beam Arrays

 

 Complex Laser Beam Arrays are a specialty:

Canopies of Laser Light;

Rays of Laser Light;

Virtual Buildings of  Laser Light.

 

Currently, we are partners in a 50 Watt WHITE LIGHT laser system.

 

Greg Cherry is the optical engineer of a three-laser white light system, available for laser shows.

The Laser & Percussion Orchestra

 

We have produced many laser light shows for ourselves and others. The Laser & Percussion Orchestra is a creative organization of Laser Light Show Artists, Drummers and Percussionists who drum and dance together under the laser lights.

 Mandalas of Visual Sound

Cherry Optical's Sparkle Light Laser Systems can create central mandala  images and paisley patterns that move and change shapes synchronized with music.

Pictured, right, central image Sparkle Light Laser System forming a zone plate mandala. The background repeated image pictures red, blue and green lasers scanned through holographic diffraction gratings.

Lamia, and Song of Ages.

 Lumia effects are fluid laser effects that form infinite multidimensional lighting scenes.

The background image pictures Water Dance from Song of Ages, McKenna Theater, SF State University, by Nancy Gorglione with Laser Affiliates.  Seven dancers choreographed movements wearing specially dyed chemiluminescent light. They danced in front of laser scanning & lumia effects .A ten piece jazz orchestra played original music by Heikki Koskinen.

Song of Ages was part of the Light Sound Motion Performance Series, which we produced for many years.  The Light Sound Motion Performance Series were creative collaborations in performance, seeking to synchronize light, sound and motion. The performances were very powerful and beautiful.

Holographic Diffraction Effects

Holographic diffraction effects bend laser light into specific patterns. We've made a large series of holograms which replicate sacred geometry, which we call Language of Light.

The black and white image shows a Holographic Diffraction Grating forming complex geometry of light in space. The central blue image shows analog scanning of a blue argon laser beam through the Gratings.

Laser Beam Chopping & Pulsing, Dicing and (no) Slicing.

The laser scanning from Cherry Optical's Sparkle Light Projectors can chop and pulse the beam into powerful kinetic dot patterns, which can have pulse and time correlations to sound.

Insert: Analog Scanning of Argon, HeNe and  Yag Beams, thru Holographic Diffraction Gratings. Plus, a Dichroic Projection.

Dichroic Projections

Using kinetic sculpture and mechanized optical filters designed by Greg and Nancy, we can monochromatically color special slide transparencies as part of multi-image shows.

Here, dichroic projected images of birds. The central image of laser scanning and dichroic imagery from Light Sound Motion Performance, No Show, at the Mission Cultural Center, SF.

Projected Holographic Rainbows

Rainbows on the Walls and Walkways.

Projected rainbows derived from holographic optical elements. Center, 9' X 13' Marquee to California Color, group exhibition curated by Nancy Gorglione at NY Museum of Holography, with rainbows of light projected across surface. Background: Ferns, the hologram used to project the rainbow onto the entrance way.

Multiple Screen Arrays & Environmental Lighting

Radical environmental lighting installations.

Laser Affiliates' Light Sound Motion Performance: Steam Dreams, for the Democratic National Convention. San Francisco Civic Center reflecting ponds.

Laser Light Dancers

Center screen: White Light laser scanning from a Sparkle Light Laser system. Part of the Laser Light & Percussion Orchestra's Fire & Light Night, Sebastopol Town Square, California. Background images, a dancer pauses in front of holographically diffracted laser scanning.

Magic: Nancy Gorglione, holographic and laser artist, is also a poet, who has written ten books, including "The Holographic Model for Enlightenment." She's a musician and sonic healer. Her teachers are on the Nini webpage, with further performance  philosophy on Holographic Reflections On Changing Times.  Nancy has spent her lifetime synchronizing light and sound, with  magic in mind.

 

 Language of Light Laser Scan

The center image is of Greg Cherry sitting in front of a computer composite screen full of very specific geometric holographic diffraction patterns illuminated by laser light. The border images illustrate multicolor lasers diffracting through other "Language of Light" holographic patterns. Greg is a superior electro-optics prototype model maker, for the most incredible holographic laser scanning in the world.
