Phoenix Holographix was founded in June 2022. Encouraged by potential customers, Guenther Dausmann decided to establish a new company with three partners. The idea was to develop new holographic applications, especially in the field of volume holography and digital hardware and software (computer-generated holograms). We knew there was a worldwide demand for a good new holographic photopolymer material.

Besides aiming for the commercial production of products such as photopolymer films, both monochrome and RGB, and holographic plates in different sizes, the new Phoenix Holographix has its primary expertise as an R&D company. We can build prototypes and customized machinery for application and production, such as photopolymer hologram replicators. We deal with all kinds of DOVIDS, conventional and computer-generated.

Beginning in 2024, Mr. Sergio Olivera, who has expertise in photopolymer, became our 5th shareholder. Then, we joined our efforts to create an entirely new formulation for our photopolymer film. Together with our chemist and Chief of our Chemistry lab and also shareholder, Doctor Irina Menz, receiving her PhD in photochemistry, we started the development of a green-sensitive and RGB photopolymer material whose parameters can undoubtedly be compared with existing and well-known recording materials in the market for volume holography in terms of brightness, sensitivity, clearness, stability, and so on.

Our films can be sold in sheets and rolls. We also produce Holographic Plates by laminating our film onto a glass substrate. These products supply a demanding market of Holographers, Hobbyists, Artists, Students, etc.

The different characteristics of our photopolymer, such as temperature resistance, allow us to work with interesting color-shifting effects. As a result, a monochrome film will be more than enough to create multi-color holograms by varying the exposure time besides oven temperatures. Artists and creative holographers will welcome these characteristics. Because of these features, we are also working on monomer-containing UV material to use as a shifting medium. Another feature of our photopolymer is that a weak and latent image is viewable right after exposure. This image is not strong enough to interfere with the “object beam” (HOE multi-focus) and will not create ghost images. After baking it, we will get a very bright hologram.

Furthermore, Phoenix Holographix GmbH will also develop holograms for passports and ID cards and the technology to personalize photopolymer holograms for documents. We’ll also offer a service for computer-generated holograms, providing the software to our potential customers, who will create their digital holograms on their computer and send them to us to be written on photoresists or photopolymer using our Hologram Writer.
