A hologram recorder includes a light source for emitting a laser beam, a polarizing beam splitter for splitting the laser beam into a recording beam and a reference beam in accordance with a state of polarization, and a rotary polarizer located between the light source and the polarizing beam splitter. The rotary polarizer has the function of optical rotation, whereby a polarization component to be the recording beam is increased from the central portion toward the peripheral portion of the laser beam, and a polarization component to be the reference beam is decreased from the central portion toward the peripheral portion of the laser beam.
摘要:
A hologram recorder applies a recording beam (S) and a reference beam (R) to the illumination site (p) of a hologram recording medium (B). The interference between the recording beam (S) and the reference beam (R) produces multiple hologram recording at the illumination site (p). The recorder includes a recording-purpose reference beam reflector (10) for reflecting the reference beam (R) to the illumination site (p), and a pivot mechanism for pivoting the reflector (10) about an axis (x) to vary the incident angle (θr) of the reflected reference beam (R) to the recording medium (B). The reflector (10) is disposed to cross a predetermined optical path. The axis (x) of the pivot mechanism is so arranged that the reflected reference beam (R) is directed to the illumination site (p) even when the incident angle (θr) of the beam (R) changes due to the pivoting of the reflector (10).

A hologram recording device (A1) includes a laser (1), a beam splitter (3) splitting the laser beam from the laser (1) into recording and reference beams (S), (R), a spatial light modulator (5) modulating the recording beam (S) by record information, a recording opto-system directing the modulated beam (S) to a target site of a hologram recording medium (B), and a reference opto-system directing the reference beam (R) to the target site of the recording medium (B) for interference with the recording beam (S) through difference incident angles. The beam (S)-beam (R) interference enables multiplex hologram recording at the target site. The device (A1) further includes a light amount adjustor (8) that adjusts the amount of the reference beam (R) from the splitter (3) based on the incident angle to the recording medium (B) for keeping the illuminance of the reference beam (R) at the target site at a predetermined level.

A hologram recorder (A) records holograms in a selected unit recording area (B1) of a hologram recording medium (B) by interference between a recording beam (Lr) which is applied vertically to the unit recording area (B1) and a reference beam (Lr) which is applied obliquely to the unit recording area (B1). The hologram recorder (A) includes a reference beam oblique applier (23A, 23B) for application of the reference beam (Lr) obliquely to the unit recording area (B1) by reflection, and a reference beam swing mechanism (30) for supporting the reference beam oblique applier (23A, 23B) and for swinging the reference beam oblique applier (23A, 23B) about a predetermined rotation axis which is perpendicular to an entering direction of the recording beam (Lw) that makes an entry into the unit recording area.

A hologram reproducing device includes a splitter for splitting a reference beam, during reproduction, into a main beam and sub-beams forming incidence directions spatially shifted from the main beam. The hologram reproducing device also includes: an incidence direction variable irradiator for changing the incidence directions of the main beam and the sub-beams; a servo beam detector for detecting a portion of the reproduction beam generated in accordance with the sub-beams; and a beam receiving unit for receiving the main portion of the reproduction beam generated in accordance with the main beam. A reproducer reproduces an image obtained by the beam receiving unit when the main beam coincides with the incidence direction at which the received light of the beam receiving unit becomes equal to or greater than a prescribed level, with the intensity of the reference beam kept uniform, on the basis of the servo beam detection results.

摘要:
A hologram recorder includes a signal beam irradiator to irradiate a signal beam, which is optically modulated in accordance with information to be recorded, to a recording medium at a predetermined incident angle. The hologram recorder also includes a recording prism provided with surfaces including an incident surface, a reflective surface and an emission surface for light so that a recording reference beam is guided to the recording medium by way of these surfaces. A pivot mechanism of the hologram recorder causes the recording prism to pivot above the recording medium for changing the incident angle of the recording reference beam at the recording medium, with the recording reference beam kept to overlap the signal beam.
