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.

Provided is an objective lens for recording a hologram that condenses an recording beam on a hologram recording medium, and the objective lens is configured so as to condense, in the case where the recording beam is incident upon the objective lens in a form of a parallel beam flux, an on-axis beam flux and an off-axis beam flux contained in the parallel flux so as to form a beam waist in the hologram recording medium, and such that a distance between an off-axis image point of the off-axis beam flux that defines a largest field angle among the off-axis beam fluxes gradually converging ahead of the beam waist and the hologram recording medium becomes minimal.

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 recorder is provided, in which coherent light from a light source is split into a signal beam and a reference beam, and the signal beam is modulated by a spatial light modulator to be directed to a hologram recording medium, while the reference beam is directed to the hologram recording medium to overlap with the signal beam for recording a hologram on the hologram recording medium. The hologram recorder includes a beam phase modulator provided with a plurality of optical devices (20p, 20p′) each configured to assume one of two modes such as ON mode and OFF mode, the ON mode for causing the reference beam to be passed or reflected in a predetermined direction toward the hologram recording medium, the OFF mode for causing the reference beam to be blocked or directed in another direction other than the predetermined direction. Each optical device (20p, 20p′) provides a phase difference 0 or π. A phase modulation controller is also provided for individually controlling the optical devices (20p, 20p′) to cause each of the optical devices to assume the ON mode or the OFF mode, thereby modulating the reference beam into a beam having a predetermined phase pattern.

A holographic recorder (A1) can vary the optical distance between an object lens (8) and a relay lens (7b) near the object lens (8). This arrangement allows defocus-multiplexing utilizing state variations in the laser beam when the beam reaches a storage medium (B1).

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.
