Holographic recording system and optical chopper

摘要

A holographic recording system with a simple structure is provided that can make a holographic recording beam follow a recording medium traveling even at high speed. The holographic recording system 10 includes a chopper lens 30 that travels in synchronization with and in a same direction as the holographic recording medium 14. The chopper lens 30 is formed so as to move the axes of incident information and reference beams relative to the recording medium and the chopper lens, and to irradiate them to an identical information recording region 15 in the holographic recording medium 14.
