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.

The hologram recording/reproducing apparatus is for recording a hologram by emitting a recording beam (S) modulated by a spatial light modulator and a reference beam (R) having a same wavelength as the recording beam onto a hologram recording medium (B) so that the beams overlap each other with polarization direction (p) of the beams being matched to interfere with each other, and for reproducing the hologram by exposing the hologram recording medium storing the hologram to the reference beam to generate diffracted light and receiving the diffracted light by an imaging device. The spatial light modulator is controlled so as to form a data area (H0) corresponding to information to be recorded and a plurality of mark areas (H1) for detecting a position of the data area in the hologram recording medium (B) in recording of the hologram. The mark areas (H1) are formed at positions not to be overlapped by a beam scattering region which may be generated along a polarizing direction (p) of the reference beam on an outward side of the data area (H0).

An optical element for recording/reproducing a hologram condenses a recording beam into a hologram recording medium, while also allowing the passage of a reproduction beam from the hologram recording medium in the reverse direction with respect to the recording beam. The optical element is configured to converge, upon incidence of a parallel beam flux as the recording beam, an on-axis beam and off-axis beams contained in the parallel beam flux onto different image points. A beam condensing spot of the on-axis beam and the off-axis beams is formed, with a predetermined diameter at a predetermined position on an optical axis on a way to the image points. At least one of the on-axis beam and the off-axis beams has a diameter, at the predetermined position on the optical axis, smaller than the predetermined diameter of the beam condensing spot.

A recording and reproducing apparatus includes a light source to emit a laser beam, an information light beam irradiation unit to irradiate a medium with an information light beam, a reference light beam irradiation unit to irradiate the medium with a reference light beam so as to form a specific speckle pattern on the medium. The reference light beam irradiation unit comprises a diffusion board provided in the way of a light path through which the laser beam is passed and generating the reference light beam, a rotation controller to rotate the diffusion board, and an identification information detector to detect identification information previously formed on a surface of the diffusion board. The diffusion board comprises a plurality of encode storage regions in which different identification information is formed and a plurality of diffusion pattern generation regions specified by the identification information. A position of the diffusion board is controlled based on the detected identification information such that a desired diffusion pattern generation region comes to a position through which the laser beam is passed while the laser beam is outputted.

摘要:
A multiple hologram recorder includes an optical system and an incident angle controller. The optical system applies a recording beam and a reference beam to a unit recording region of a hologram recording medium. The recording beam is modulated in accordance with information to be recorded. The reference and the recording beams have the same wavelength. The angle controller adjusts the incident angle of the recording or reference beam to preset angles. Every time the incident angle is adjusted to one set angle, one-page holographic recording is performed. The set angles include a reference angle associated with an angular interval. The incident angle controller causes the incident angle to continuously vary within the angular interval when the incident angle is adjusted to the reference angle. This continuous variation is performed with the recording and the reference beams irradiating the unit recording region.
