A hologram record apparatus (100) includes a spatial light modulator (15) and a control device (18). The spatial light modulator (15) is arranged on an optical path of signal light (L1) and divided into a plurality of cell blocks (151) arranged in a matrix. Each of the cell blocks (151) is further divided into a plurality of cells (152) arranged in a matrix. The spatial light modulator (15) can perform modulation on the cell basis. The control device (18) controls the spatial light modulator so as to modulate the signal light according to a plurality of record information sets to be recorded on a hologram record medium (200). Pluralities of modulation units (153) existing in the same cell block are not made into identical patterns. Since a plurality of cell blocks having a large pitch as compared to the pixel pitch are simultaneously or successively turned on/off, it is possible to reduce the distance between the zeroth-order light and the higher-order light.

A compatible hologram system has a supporting part for loadably supporting a recording medium made of a photosensitive material, a signal generating part for allowing a coherent beam modulated in response to predetermined data to enter the recording medium and providing a three-dimensional light interference pattern therewithin to produce a diffraction grating, and a data processing part for detecting reproduced data by diffracted light from the diffraction grating and demodulating the data to the predetermined data. The recording medium has a reference data area in which a reference diffraction grating corresponding to a three-dimensional light interference pattern of a coherent light beam modulated in response to reference data has been stored in advance, a sector data area in which sector data is recorded, and a user data area in which user data is recorded. The hologram system corrects the reproduced data in response to the reference data reproduced from the reference diffraction grating stored in the reference data area, the sector data reproduced from the sector area, and reference data provided within a reference memory of the data processing part, and demodulates the data to the predetermined data.

A hologram record apparatus (100) includes a parameter set device (19), a move device (20), and a control device (18). The parameter set device (19) modifies parameters for multiple recordings such as a record angle and a focal depth in relation to at least one of signal light (L3) and reference light (L2) and can fix the parameters. The move device (20) relatively moves the focus position of the signal light and the reference light in the direction along the record surface of a hologram record medium. The control device (18) performs control so that the parameter for the last recording used for recording at the m-th focus position is used as the parameter for the first recording at the m+1-th focus position.
