Method for the production of a multi-colour volume hologram, a document with such a hologram, and a volume hologram master

A method for the production of a multi-color hologram using a copy beam, comprising the following steps:

• provision of at least one master hologram (1) with a plurality of single-color sub-holograms, such as e.g. a red, a green, and a blue sub-hologram (11, 12, 13) with a fixed design,
• affixation of a copy layer (5) onto the at least one master hologram (1),
• generation of a contact copy by copying the structure of the at least one master hologram (1) into the assigned copy layer (5) using a single-color copy/capture beam (6) of a wavelength in the ultraviolet to infrared range, such as e.g. blue, with in each case a copy beam bundle (16) of the same wavelength for each sub-hologram (11, 12, 13), wherein the copy beam bundles (16) in each case impinge at a selected incidence angle onto the structure formed by the master hologram (1) and copy layer (5), wherein the incidence angle in each case is calculated such that the structure of the assigned sub-hologram (11, 12, 13) is reproduced in the copy layer (5).
