Optical information processing apparatus and optical information recording and reproducing methods using the same

摘要

There is provided an optical information recording apparatus comprising: a light source; a light modulator in which a reference beam pattern for converting a beam emitted from the light source into a reference beam and a signal beam pattern for converting the beam into a signal beam are formed and varies the reference beam pattern at the time of multiplexing and recording optical information; and a lens allowing optical information to be recorded in an optical information storage medium by means of interference between the reference beam and the signal beam when the signal beam and the reference beam emitted from the light modulator are irradiated to the optical information storage medium. Accordingly, in an optical information processing apparatus using a coaxial optical system, it is possible to more efficiently multiplex optical information and to enhance a storage density of holographic optical information.
