摘要： Aspects of the present invention are generally directed to a holographic system. Generally, aspects of the present invention are directed to allocating power of a light beam generated by a coherent light source among the various discrete light beams used in a holographic system. Specifically, a variable optical divider is incorporated into an optical steering subsystem of the holographic memory system to redirect the coherent light beam into one or more discrete light beams, and to dynamically allocate power of the coherent light beam among the discrete light beams.

摘要： A hologram recording and playback method comprises establishing in advance a test region adapted to record a piece of test data for each of a reference incidence angle and a plurality of stepped incidence angles of a recording reference beam in a recording medium, successively setting an incidence angle of the recording reference beam equal to the reference incidence angle or one of the plurality of the stepped incidence angles, successively recording in the test region each piece of the test data, causing a playback reference beam to be applied to the test region at the same incidence angle as the reference incidence angle to globally play back all the pieces of the test data, selecting the data with the maximum diffraction efficiency, and correcting the incidence angles of the recording reference beam and the playback reference beam based on the difference between the reference incidence angle or one of the plurality of the stepped incidence angles corresponding to the selected data and the reference incidence angle.

摘要： To provide an optical recording apparatus capable of effectively suppressing useless fixation to an information-unrecorded area during a fixing process with a simple structure, and an optical head. Upon recording information, a movable lens of an expander lens 104 is positioned in an information recording position. In an information fixing process, the movable lens of the expander lens 104 is positioned in a fixing-process position. In this case, a range of irradiation to the recording medium with the data light becomes somewhat wider than that in the information recording process. Accordingly, it is possible to fix the information to an area irradiated with the data light in the information recording process without fail. In addition, the irradiation range is only somewhat wider than that in the information fixing process, making it possible to minimize the region uselessly subjected to the fixing process.
