Abstract
The first observation of natural holograms and their main properties a re described. Perfect colored, in real time, holograms of any objects illuminated by usual lamps or by Sun's radiation can be obtained using CdS crystal platelets grown from vapor phase. The new state of electr omagnetic field that is linear superposition of multipole waves with t he same frequency but with different values of angular momenta (superp hoton) is discovered. Superphotons possess many unusual properties suc h as great penetrative ability, high directionability and possibility to create holograms. The latter permit, particularly, to take images o f Sun and other stars and planets using transformation of multipole wa ves into usual visible light, to obtain essential reducing noise at im age processing and rising efficiency of solar batteries. Also, we have observed some effects of adaptive optics.
