Hologram scanner and method of recording and reproducing hologram in the hologram scanner

摘要

A hologram scanner includes a reproducing light source (17) for generating a collimated reproducing light beam (15), a hologram disk (12) being adapted to rotate, and a hologram (11) disposed on the hologram disk for deflecting the reproducing light beam by diffraction so as to scan an image surface (13) by the deflected reproducing light beam (16) during a rotation of the hologram disk. The hologram has interference fringes recorded by a mutual interference of an object light of divergent spherical wave and a reference light of divergent spherical wave. The object light is generated by an object light source positioned at a first position apart from a hologram recording plane of the hologram disk, on which the hologram is to be recorded, by a first distance. The reference light is generated by a reference light source positioned at a second position apart from the hologram recording plane by a second distance. The first and second distances are different from each other so that the deflected reproducing light beam is focused on the image surface.
