20090128876 | HOLOGRAM RECORDING DEVICE - A hologram recording device records holograms by interference between an recording beam and a reference beam. The device includes an objective lens exhibiting a predetermined aberration. It is supposed that the laser beam applied to the beam splitter has an light intensity of 1, the recording beam and the reference beam emitted from the beam splitter have light intensities of P and 1−P, respectively, the optical magnification for the recording beam traveling from the beam splitter to the objective lens is a, and N pixels are used for modulation of the recording beam in the spatial light modulator. When the recording beam at the predetermined region has an amplitude 1/k times the amplitude of the reference beam, and the amplitude of the recording beam is X times as great as when there is no aberration, the predetermined aberration of the objective lens is determined to satisfy the formula: | 05-21-2009 |
20090129234 | HOLOGRAM RECORDING DEVICE AND HOLOGRAM RECORDING METHOD - 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. | 05-21-2009 |
20090135459 | HOLOGRAM RECORDING APPARATUS AND HOLOGRAM RECORDING/REPRODUCING METHOD - 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 ( | 05-28-2009 |
20090279153 | HOLOGRAM RECORDING/REPRODUCING DEVICE, HOLOGRAM RECORDING/REPRODUCING METHOD, AND HOLOGRAM RECORDING MEDIUM - The hologram recording/reproducing apparatus is for recording a hologram by emitting a recording beam (S) modulated by a spatial light modulator and a reference beam (R) having a same wavelength as the recording beam onto a hologram recording medium (B) so that the beams overlap each other with polarization direction (p) of the beams being matched to interfere with each other, and for reproducing the hologram by exposing the hologram recording medium storing the hologram to the reference beam to generate diffracted light and receiving the diffracted light by an imaging device. The spatial light modulator is controlled so as to form a data area (H | 11-12-2009 |
20100182664 | HOLOGRAM RECORDER - 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. | 07-22-2010 |
20100195179 | HOLOGRAM REPRODUCING DEVICE AND HOLOGRAM REPRODUCING METHOD - 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. | 08-05-2010 |
20100271922 | HOLOGRAM RECORDING DEVICE - A hologram recording device that records a hologram by passing recording light and reference light through the same objective lens and irradiating a recording medium, includes: a light splitter for dividing light from a light source into the recording light and the reference light; a light combining member for combining the recording light and the reference light, which have been divided by the light splitter, so as to be coaxial, and causing these light beams to advance to the objective lens; first and second lenses, positioned on an optical paths of the recording light and reference light, between the light splitter and the light combining member; a first aperture that narrows the recording light which has passed through the first lens; and, a second aperture that narrows the reference light which has passed through the second lens, the first and second lenses being configured to have different optical magnifications. | 10-28-2010 |
