From The Collaborative International Dictionary of English v.0.44 [gcide]:
hologram \hol"o*gram\, noun 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]
From WordNet (r) 2.0 [wn]:
noun
1: the intermediate photograph (or photographic record) that contains information for reproducing a three-dimensional image by holography [syn: {holograph}]
