Abstract
We represent and discuss a theory of gravitational holography in which all the involved waves; subject, reference and illuminator are gravitational waves (GW). Although these waves are so weak that no terrestrial experimental set-ups, even the large LIGO, VIRGO, GEO and TAMA facilities, were able up to now to directly detect them they are, nevertheless, known under certain conditions (such as very small wavelengths) to be almost indistinguishable (see P. 962, in Misner, C. W., Thorne, K. S., and Wheeler, J. A. (1973). Gravitation, Freeman, San Francisco.) from their analogue electromagnetic waves (EMW). We, therefore theoretically, show, using the known methods of optical holography and taking into account the very peculiar nature of GW, that it is also possible to reconstruct subject gravitational waves.
