Apparatus for recording/reproducing holographic data

摘要

A holographic information recording and/or reproducing apparatus includes: a light source to emit light; a polarization conversion device to form a polarized signal beam and an orthogonal polarized reference beam; an optical path forming optical system to separate the optical paths of the signal beam and the reference beam; a focus adjustment optical system disposed on the optical path of at least one of the signal beam and the reference beam, and to vary a position of a focus of at least one of the signal beam and the reference beam in a depth direction of the holographic information storage medium; an objective lens to focus the signal beam and the reference beam in the holographic information storage medium, and form an interference pattern to record information; and a 4f relay system disposed on an optical path between the focus adjustment optical system and the objective lens.
