Holographic memory medium, holographic memory device and holographic recording device
View Patent ↗Even when a tilt error is caused in a holographic memory in a direction perpendicular to a surface including optical axes of a signal beam and a reference beam, the signal beam and the reference beam are allowed to enter the holographic memory at adequate angles relative thereto at all times by suppression of the tilt error. During recording and reproducing operations, the reference incident angle of the reference beam in the radial tilt direction is detected based on a received light state. A tilt actuator for displacing the holographic memory medium in the radial tilt direction is driven to adjust an incident angle of the reference beam in the radial tilt direction to the reference angle Sr. Then, the signal beam and the reference beam are emitted to the holographic memory medium to execute the recording and reproducing operations.
1. A holographic memory medium, characterized in that reference information for specifying an incident angle of a reference beam or incident angles of the reference beam and a signal beam in a predetermined direction is recorded based on a hologram principle,
wherein first reference information for specifying an incident angle of an emitted laser beam in a first direction and second reference information for specifying an incident angle of an emitted laser beam in a second direction different from the first direction are recorded in positions different from each other based on the hologram principle, and
wherein the first direction is an in-plane direction of a surface including optical axes of the reference beam and the signal beam and
the second direction is an in-plane direction of a surface perpendicular to the surface including the optical axes of the reference beam and the signal beam.
2. A holographic memory medium, characterized in that reference information for specifying an incident angle of a reference beam or incident angles of the reference beam and a signal beam in a predetermined direction is recorded based on a hologram principle,
