Holography in the Czech Republic

摘要

The present state of holography in the country, especially in the field of commercial holography, is very changeable, as in all commercial activities after the political and economic changes in Czechoslovakia at the end of 1989 and after splitting the country in 1993. A lot of new relations among all entities, especially enterprises, have started and this process is not finished. It is necessary to say several words about the state of holography before 1990. After the political and economic changes in the country the government research support was considerably reduced, and a new grant system, based on competitive selection, was introduced instead. Certainly, this process is at the beginning and it is very dynamic. Holography exhibitions with commercial or artistic aspects also were turning up.
