Abstract
A method for reproducing a hologram includes: irradiating a recording disc with a first reference beam and a second reference beam, both having a parallel light flux, in different directions at a same incident angle to form a hologram having an unslanted grating pattern in which a grating vector is parallel to a light incident surface of the recording disc; irradiating the hologram with the first reference beam or the second reference beam to extract reproduced light; and detecting a position where an intensity of the reproduced light is maximum.

A method for reproducing a hologram, the method comprising:
- irradiating a recording disc with a first reference beam and a second reference beam, both having a parallel light flux, in different directions at a same incident angle to form a first hologram having an unslanted grating pattern in which a grating vector is parallel to a light incident surface of the recording disc;
- irradiating a position of the recording disc where the first hologram is formed with a first signal beam or a second signal beam which is produced as a binarized pattern by a spatial light modulator to cause interference with the first reference beam or the second reference beam to thereby to form a second hologram;
- irradiating the first hologram formed in the recording disc with the first reference beam or the second reference beam to extract reproduced light;
- detecting a position where an intensity of the reproduced light is maximum while rotating the recording disc about an axis that is perpendicular to the grating vector of the unslanted grating pattern, the axis being on the light incident surface of the recording disc;
- detecting a position where an intensity of the reproduced light is maximum while rotating the recording disc in a direction perpendicular to the grating vector;
- and
- irradiating the detected position with the first reference beam or the second reference beam to reproduce the second hologram formed at the position where the first hologram is formed.
