"What is light?"
Me, a physicist: starts sweating intensely
"This is the part where the physicists collectively panic" - I guess that's entirely right

I made some red light holograms about 20 years ago, with an x-ray film that wasn't sensitive to green light. So the dark room ended up being lit green. The best image I got was of some fools gold, and the hologram glittered like the real thing. Really helps show that it's some quantum trickery rather than just a 3d photo.

I made all the holograms you mentioned back in the late 60's early 70's in a studio we had on Venice beach in LA. We used to airbrush the emulsions on plates. Yes it was that far back. Our "stable-tables" were large 4'x8' (inside measurement) cinder block plastic-lined tubs filled with sand on which lay inflated inner tubes & on top of those was a heavy solid steel plate to which we could attach articulated arms welded to magnets for mirrors, lenses, splitters, Q-switches, irises, shutters etc., or we could drill alignment holes for the same components. Most of our hefty lasers were on loan from SpectraPhysics, mostly HeNe's & Argons. We eventually started producing white light transmission "Moving Holograms" where we would use 35mm movie cameras, spherical lenses & subjects on rotating tables, and the lasers were then shone through the film via spherical "rod" lenses to produce series of vertically aligned 'compressed' frame-by-frame holograms for motion capture, a holographic GIF if you will. This video reminded me that we wore surgical masks to stop our breath from disturbing the air molecules. Messed up many a plate because someone spoke or god-forbid sneezed. By-the-by, Spontaneous Parametric Down-Conversion when coupled with lasers produce quantum-entangled interference patterns.
