The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for producing a hologram, in particular a dot matrix volume hologram. A holographic recording system (1) comprises a source of optical radiation (7), a transparent or partially transparent holographic recording medium 6 and an optical system (10). The recording medium (6) has a first side (25), a second side (26) and a recording volume (36), the second side (26) being opposite to said first side (25) and the recording volume (36) being between said sides (25, 26). The recording medium (6) is positioned between the source of optical radiation (7) and the optical system (10) so that the first side (25) is presented towards the source of optical radiation (7) and the second side (26) is presented towards the optical system. The source (7) is arranged to project incident optical radiation (20) onto the first side (25) and through the recording volume (36) towards the optical system (10). The optical system (10) is arranged to redirect (32) the optical radiation back onto said second side (26) and into the recording volume (36) so that said incident (20) and redirected (32) optical radiation intersect within the recording volume (36) at an obtuse angle (34) to create an interference pattern (38) from which a holographic recording may be made.

A holographic memory system and apparatus, and a method provide the ability to store mulitbit holograms in a photorefractive crystal. A single laser diode is configured to emit a collimated laser beam to both write a page of multibit data to and read the page of multibit data from the photorefractive crystal. A multilevel spatial light modulator (DMDSLM) is configured to encode the page of multibit data on an input beam split from the collimated laser beam. A first imaging relay lens pair is positioned between the multilevel spatial light modulator and the photorefractive crystal to image a multibit spatial light modulator image on a plane behind the photorefractive crystal. One or more mirrors are configured to steer a reference beam, split from the collimated laser beam, at high speed to the photorefractive crystal to read or write a page of the multi-bit data.

The present invention relates to a method for fabricating a computer-generated hologram or a holographic stereogram which can reconstruct a three-dimensional object having visualized cross-sectional surfaces, wherein the three-dimensional object composed only of surface data is processed to have the visualized cross-sectional surfaces on a given cross section thereof by adding surface data to the cross-sectional surfaces. The method includes a step (ST11) of obtaining a number of two-dimensional cross-sectional image data of a three-dimensional object, a step (ST12) of producing three-dimensional object image data composed only of surface data of the three-dimensional object from the two-dimensional cross-sectional image data obtained in the above step, a step (ST13) of cutting the three-dimensional obj ect composed only of the surface data along a predetermined cross section, a step (ST14) of defining the shape of the three-dimensional object to be recorded as a hologram by adding surface data representing cross-sectional surfaces on the cut cross section to the same, steps (ST15)-(ST17) of defining the arrangement of the defined three-dimensional object, a hologram plane, and a reference beam to compute interference fringes on the hologram plane, and steps (ST18)-(ST20) of recording the thus computed interference fringes on a recording medium.

A holographic recording system with a simple structure is provided that can make a holographic recording beam follow a recording medium traveling even at high speed. The holographic recording system 10 includes a chopper lens 30 that travels in synchronization with and in a same direction as the holographic recording medium 14. The chopper lens 30 is formed so as to move the axes of incident information and reference beams relative to the recording medium and the chopper lens, and to irradiate them to an identical information recording region 15 in the holographic recording medium 14.

A holographic device includes a reference beam unit (1) that makes reference beams (15) incident on a plurality of holograms (31) formed in a plate-shaped recording medium (30); and a light receiving unit (2) that receives exiting light (33) diffracted by the holograms. The reference beam unit includes a light emitting part (10) that emits the reference beams (15), and sets the incidence position and the incidence angle of each of the reference beams emitted from the light emitting part such that each of the reference beams is incident on one of the plurality of holograms disposed in the thicknesswise direction of the recording medium. The light receiving unit includes a light receiving part (20) that receives the exiting light from the holograms and a pin-hole filter (21) disposed between the light receiving part (20) and the recording medium (30). The pin-hole filter transmits only exiting light from one of the plurality of holograms disposed in the thicknesswise direction of the recording medium, the one of the plurality of holograms corresponding to the incidence position and the incidence angle set by the reference beam unit, and blocks exiting light from the other holograms.
