    摘要: The invention involves a holographic system containing a photopolymer-type storage medium located in the system's optical path, where the medium is rotated around a first axis such that the surface of the medium is in a non-orthogonal relationship with the optical path, and a spatial light modulator also located in the optical path, where the modulator is rotated around a second axis that is substantially orthogonal to the first axis, and wherein the surface of the modulator is in a non-orthogonal relationship with the optical path. This arrangement compensates for at least a portion of aberration introduced by the photopolymer media, thereby allowing presentation of a flatter, more focused, and less distorted image at the sensor.

    摘要: Apparatus for holographic recording of information includes a lens or lens system, referred to here as the “FT lens,” situated in such a way that light from an object beam enters the FT lens after passing through an object, and light leaving the FT lens impinges on a recording medium situated at a Fourier transform plane of the object with respect to the FT lens. Disclosed apparatus includes a phase element effectively juxtaposed with the object, in which the phase element is effective for redistributing object-beam intensity in the Fourier transform plane, and the phase element has a correlation length greater than a maximum pixel side length associated with the object. Disclosed apparatus includes an optical element or optical system, referred to here as a “power optic,” that adds convergence or divergence to the object beam before the object beam enters the FT lens.
