A reference beam and an object or information beam are directed to a holographic recording member, and the information beam is focused through a point near the holographic recording member. A diverger means such as a diffuser, a lens array, a holographic element or the like adapted to form an expanding beam from a point image or spot receives a focused modulated information beam and directs it to the holographic recording member as a divergent beam. The beam may be sent directly to the recording member or it may be optically or otherwise relayed to the member. The point source may be in front of, behind or within the holographic recording member. | InventorsAssigneeApplicationNo. 06/664392 filed on 10/23/1984US Classes:359/9, For synthetically generating a hologram348/40, HOLOGRAPHIC359/10, Using modulated or plural reference beams359/30Having optical element between object and recording mediumExaminersPrimary: Arnold, Bruce Y.Attorney, Agent or FirmUS Patent References4498740Hologram writer and methodIssued on: 02/12/1985 Inventor: Caulfield International ClassG03H 1/08 (20060101) |
