DESCRIPTION:Computer-generated holograms have been a means of manipulating
  light for over 30 years\; however it is recent developments in liquid cry
 stal over silicon VLSI technology that has allowed them to become a commer
 cial reality.  In this presentation\, I shall give an overview of how thes
 e holograms work.  I shall then review activities at Cambridge in computer
 -generated holography over the last 10 years.  This will include work on a
 ll-optical reconfigurable switches for telecommunications through to the r
 ecent commercial successes of holography for 2D and 3D projection display 
 systems.  I will also be looking into the future of this technology and th
 e possible impact it may have on the fundamental concept of images\, pixel
 s and resolution.
