Abstract
Emmett Leith is recognised today as one of a handful of key innovators in the subject that became holography. During the 1950s Leith played a crucial role in synthesizing a new subject from previously quite separate ones. During the early 1960s he dramatically extended the possibilities of wavefront reconstruction. His ideas and competence inspired a generation of colleagues who went on to contribute to the modern subject.
