Claim Text:
1. A method of recording holographic object data in a holographic recording medium by using a complex waveform as both an object beam and a reference beam, which provides phantom recordings of an original holographic data object, the method comprising: receiving a reference beam that includes a complex waveform, which was embedded with or modulated by a coherent fundamental wave and one or more harmonics thereof; receiving a complex wave front, which is a diffraction, reflection, or both, of the complex waveform used as the object beam in illuminating one or more objects for recording holographic data; and, recording an interference of the received reference beam and the received complex wave front, which produces an interference encoding of the one or more objects that includes a superimposition of the illuminated one or more objects at the coherent fundamental wave vibration and one or more phantom recordings thereof relative to the one or more harmonics in the complex waveform.
