HOLOGRAPHIC RECORDING/REPRODUCING APPARATUS

摘要

A holographic recording/reproducing apparatus that easily controls an incident angle of a reference beam and that is less sensitive to a tilt of a holographic recording medium, the holographic recording/reproducing apparatus including: a light source to emit a light; and an optical system to divide the emitted light into a reference beam and a signal beam, and to provide the reference beam and the signal beam to the holographic recording medium, wherein the optical system provides the signal beam to be incident on an upper surface of the holographic recording medium, and provides the reference beam to be guided along the inside of the holographic recording medium by reflection due to a refraction index difference between the holographic recording medium and the outside of the holographic recording medium.
