CIDE DICTIONARY

hologram, n. 

 A photographic image giving the observer a seemingly three-dimensional view of the represented object. The three-dimensional effect is produced by exposing a photographic recording medium to an interference pattern generated by a coherent beam of light (as from a laser) reflected from the subject, interacting with a beam directly from the source. The full three-dimensional effect requires illumination of the image with coherent light, but less perfect three-dimensional visual effects may also be observed when the hologram is illuminated with white light.  [PJC]

OXFORD DICTIONARY

hologram, n. Physics 1 a three-dimensional image formed by the interference of light beams from a coherent light source.
2 a photograph of the interference pattern, which when suitably illuminated produces a three-dimensional image.
