A laser apparatus is disclosed. An optical element receives at least a part of laser light emitted from a laser generation source and generates interference fringes. Each of first and second two-divided detectors has two detectors arranged in the direction of which the interference fringes appear. Each of the detectors detects an amount of light of the interference fringes. These two-divided detectors are spaced apart for an odd-number multiple of nearly ¼ period of interference fringes and disposed on a plane perpendicular to an optical path of the interference fringes. Each of first and second calculation sections calculates a first difference signal of detection signals of two detectors of the two-divided detector. A selection section selects one of the first and second difference signals. A determination section determines a wavelength of the laser light corresponding to a value of the difference signal selected from the first and second difference signals.

A hologram recording device can easily perform multiplex recording/reproduction on a hologram recording medium. The hologram recording device includes an optical system and a distance controlling mechanism. The optical system focuses on a substantially same location of a hologram recording medium a signal light modulated at a light modulating element and a reference light whose phase has been modulated at a phase modulating element. The distance controlling mechanism controls a distance between the phase modulating element and the hologram recording medium. By controlling the distance between the phase modulating element and the hologram recording medium, multiplex recording can be performed on the hologram recording medium. In an ordinary phase-correlation multiplexing method, multiplex recording is performed as a result of shifting a light-focusing location in the direction of a surface of the hologram recording medium, whereas, in the present invention, it is possible to perform the multiplex recording without shifting the light-focusing location in the direction of the surface of the hologram recording medium. It is possible to further increase recording capacity as a result of shifting the light-focusing location in the direction of the surface of the hologram recording medium. Here, compared to the ordinary phase-correlation multiplexing method, it is possible to perform shifting by a sufficient amount.

A holographic recording/reproducing apparatus includes a splitter unit for splitting a laser beam into a first laser beam for generating a signal beam and a second laser beam which serves as a reference beam, a spatial light modulator for spatially modulating the first laser beam in accordance with information to be recorded, the modulated first laser beam serving as the signal beam, and a first lens system for focusing the signal beam and the reference beam onto a holographic recording medium. In a recording process, the signal beam and the reference beam are guided through one and the other half-regions separated along the optical axis of the first lens system. In a reproduction process, only the reference beam is guided through one of the half-regions and a signal reproduction beam from the holographic recording medium is guided through a second lens system in the other half-region.
