According to one aspect and example, a holographic recording system includes a light source, an object for modulating an object beam from the light source, and a relay system adapted to magnify (positive or negative) the modulated beam (e.g., an image of the object) to an output image. The object may include an SLM operable to modulate the object beam with an information layer comprising a plurality of data pages. The output image is directed to the holographic storage medium, where a reference beam is also directed, to record the resulting interference pattern. Additionally, the relay system converges the output image to an output Fourier plane, which may be disposed within the holographic storage medium. A filter may be placed at an intermediate Fourier plane located prior to the output Fourier plane, and a phase mask may be placed at the position of the output image.

The present invention relates to a system, as well as articles and holographic recording medium comprising the system, where the system comprises: a polymerizable component comprising at least one photoactive polymerizable material; and a photoinitiator component comprising at least one photoinitiator for causing the polymerizable component to polymerize to thereby form a plurality of holographic gratings when activated by exposure to a photoinitiating light source; wherein when a portion of the polymerizable component has been polymerized to form at least one holographic grating, the unpolymerized portion of the polymerizable component is resistant to further polymerization when not exposed to the photoinitiating light source. The present invention also provides methods for forming at least one holographic grating in a holographic recording medium having such a photopolymerizable system.
摘要:
An optical pickup for recording a hologram by using an angle multiplexing method. An optical beam is separated into two beams, a signal beam and a reference beam having different convergence/divergence degrees, by using an optical component such as a diffraction lens. The signal and reference beams are made incident upon the same objective, and the optical component or the objective lens is moved in a direction perpendicular to an optical axis, to thereby realize angle multiplex recording. If an optical information recording medium is inclined, the optical component or the objective lens is moved along the direction along which the optical information recording medium moved to change an angle of the reference beam incident upon the optical information recording medium and compensate for degradation of a reproduction signal.
