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.
摘要:
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 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.

摘要:
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 hologram recording device (A1) includes a laser (1), a beam splitter (3) splitting the laser beam from the laser (1) into recording and reference beams (S), (R), a spatial light modulator (5) modulating the recording beam (S) by record information, a recording opto-system directing the modulated beam (S) to a target site of a hologram recording medium (B), and a reference opto-system directing the reference beam (R) to the target site of the recording medium (B) for interference with the recording beam (S) through difference incident angles. The beam (S)-beam (R) interference enables multiplex hologram recording at the target site. The device (A1) further includes a light amount adjustor (8) that adjusts the amount of the reference beam (R) from the splitter (3) based on the incident angle to the recording medium (B) for keeping the illuminance of the reference beam (R) at the target site at a predetermined level.

摘要:
A hologram recording device illuminates with a recording beam (S) a hologram recording medium (B), and illuminates with a reference beam (R) a region illuminated with the recording beam (p) while variably controlling the incident angle regarding the hologram recording medium (B) whereby holograms are recorded on the illuminated region (p) in multiple by interference of the recording beam (S) and the reference beam (R). The device includes an incident angle variable controller for variably controlling the incident angle of the reference beam (R) in a predetermined range. The hologram recording medium (B) has such characteristics that its recording sensitivity degrades as the incoming light amount increases. The incident angle variable controller changes the incident angle of the reference beam (R) from a larger angle to a smaller angle.
