Definitions

• the present invention relates to an apparatus for reproducing information recorded on a hologram recording medium.
• optical recording media such as CD (compact disc) and DVD (digital versatile disc) are widely used as media for recording a large amount of data.
• CDs and DVDs require such a large amount of data. It is impossible to increase the density sufficiently to record data, and it is not possible to record a large amount of these data on a single disc. Therefore, in order to record such a large amount of data, it is necessary to record while exchanging multiple disks.
• hologram recording media capable of recording a considerably large amount of data compared to current CDs and DVDs have attracted attention.
• Hologram information recording is a recording medium in which beam light is demultiplexed into two coherent lights, one light is data-modulated by a spatial light modulator to be signal light, and the other light is used as reference light. This is a method of recording data as interference fringes by combining the above. Then, by irradiating the recording medium with the same reference light as at the time of recording, the signal light can be detected as reproduction light, thereby reproducing data. In this hologram information recording / reproduction, the signal light is not reproduced if the wavelength or irradiation angle of light during information reproduction differs from the wavelength or irradiation angle of light during information recording. Utilizing this property, data is multiplexed and recorded in the same area of the recording medium by changing the wavelength and irradiation angle of information recording / reproducing light.
