A system and method for printing a hologram are disclosed. The method includes the operation of transmitting a laser light beam. The laser light beam can be split into an object beam and a reference beam. Phase information can be added to the object beam using a spatial phase modulator to form a phase controlled object beam. The reference beam and the phase controlled object beam can be directed to a predetermined location on a holographic media to enable the reference beam and the phase controlled object beam to form an interference pattern on the holographic media.

A variable optical phase modulator includes an array of movable, micro-electromechanical conductive plates. Each conductive plate has a substantially reflective surface, and is responsive to an applied voltage to move the conductive plate normal to a plane of the array to a predetermined distance with respect to other conductive plates in the array. The phase modulator also includes a voltage controller associated with the array of conductive plates. The voltage controller supplies a voltage to at least one of the movable conductive plates to move and position the movable plate to change the phase of electromagnetic energy reflected from the reflective surface with respect to the phase of electromagnetic energy reflected from other conductive plates in the array.

A system and method are provided for maintaining optical energy density on a marking area of a storage medium. The method includes the operation of directing a light beam from a light source to an optical system. The light beam can pass through at least one optical component in the optical system, where the optical system has astigmatic properties selected so as to maintain an irradiance within a defined area on the marking area of the storage medium through a range of working distances between the optical system and the marking surface. A further operation is guiding the light beam by the optical system onto the marking area of the storage medium.

A system and method are provided for maintaining optical energy density on a defined area of a medium markable by optical energy. The method includes the operation of directing a light beam from a light source to an optical system. The light beam can pass through at least one optical component in the optical system, where the optical system has astigmatic properties selected to maintain desired irradiance within the defined area of the medium through a range of working distances between the optical system and the defined area. A further operation is guiding the light beam by the optical system onto the marking area of the medium.
