In a beam applying method, recording and reproducing operations are performed on an optical recording medium, in which a signal is recorded and reproduced by applying a beam thereto and which has a recording layer on which the signal is recorded, a quarter-wavelength plate formed below the recording layer, a polarizing plate formed further below the quarter-wavelength plate, and a reflecting film formed below the quarter-wavelength plate. The beam applying method includes the steps of; emitting a beam to be applied to the optical recording medium; and driving a quarter-wavelength plate inserted into an optical system serving to guide the emitted beam to the optical recording medium so that the optical axis direction thereof has a predetermined angle difference at the time of performing a recording operation and reproduction.

摘要:
A technique for recording data onto a hologram recording medium using spatial light phase modulation corresponding to the recording data, and a technique for reproducing recorded data by properly reading information on phases recorded on a hologram recording medium. A signal beam having a phase modulation pattern corresponding to recording data and a reference beam having a specific phase modulation pattern are applied to the recording medium. Thus, recording data can be recorded onto the hologram recording medium using phase information. In addition, at the time of reproduction, a reference beam and a direct current (DC) beam, whose phase difference with respect to the reference beam is π/2, are applied to the hologram recording medium. By reading the reproduction beam to which the DC beam is added, recorded information on phases can be correctly read, and recorded data can be reproduced in accordance with the phase information.

摘要:
A recording technique for performing data recording onto a hologram recording medium in accordance with information on phases by performing spatial light phase modulation as spatial light modulation corresponding to recording data, and a reproducing technique for reproducing recorded data by properly reading information on phases recorded as described above are suggested. A signal beam having a phase modulation pattern provided thereto corresponding to recording data and a reference beam having a specific phase modulation pattern provided thereto are applied to the hologram recording medium. Thus, recording data can be recorded onto the hologram recording medium in accordance with information on phases. In addition, at the time of reproduction, a reference beam and a DC beam having the entire phase whose phase difference with respect to a reference phase within the reference beam is π/2 are applied to the hologram recording medium. By providing a phase difference based on π/2 as described above, the phase of a reproduction beam obtained from the hologram recording medium in accordance with application of the reference beam and the phase of the DC beam can be set to be the same. Thus, the DC beam can be added as a component of an amplitude of “1” to the reproduction beam. By reading the reproduction beam to which the DC beam is added as described above, recorded information on phases can be correctly read, and recorded data can be reproduced in accordance with the phase information.
