Abstract

An apparatus for manufacturing a hologram includes a holographic optical element on which a first interference pattern of a first signal beam and a first reference beam is recorded and a second interference pattern of a second signal beam modulated by a Fourier lens and a second reference beam is recorded. Also, an apparatus for reconstructing a hologram by using the holographic optical element is provided.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An apparatus for manufacturing a holographic optical element having different optical characteristics, the apparatus comprising:
a light emitting portion configured to sequentially emit a first laser beam and a second laser beam;
a beam splitter configured to split the first laser beam into a first signal beam and a first reference beam, and split the second laser beam into a second signal beam and a second reference beam;
a hologram recording medium;
a first optical system configured to emit the first signal beam to one surface of the hologram recording medium and the first reference beam to another surface of the hologram recording medium, and to record a first interference pattern of the first signal beam and the first reference beam on the hologram recording medium; and
a second optical system comprising a Fourier lens and configured to emit a second signal beam modulated by the Fourier lens to one surface of the hologram recording medium and a second reference beam to another surface of the hologram recording medium, and to record a second interference pattern of the modulated second signal beam and the second reference beam on the hologram recording medium.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein energy of the modulated second signal beam and the second reference beam emitted to the hologram recording medium during recording of the second interference pattern is set to be greater than energy of the first signal beam and the first reference beam emitted to the hologram recording medium during recording of the first interference pattern.

3. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the light emitting portion emits the second laser beam longer than an emission time of the first laser beam.

4. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the hologram recording medium, on which the first interference pattern and the second interference pattern are recorded, has optical characteristics of a mirror corresponding to the first interference pattern and optical characteristics of a Fourier lens corresponding to the second interference pattern.
