Hologram recording system and method

A hologram recording system comprising:

• an optical system configured to provide first and second beams of electromagnetic radiation, the optical system comprising a first lens configured to interact with the first beam;
• a photosensitive recording medium configured to receive the first and second beams and record an interference pattern formed by the first and second beams;
• and,
• an actuation system configured to move a component of the optical system to adjust a position of the first beam relative to the first lens and thereby control an angle of incidence of the first beam at the photosensitive recording medium;
• wherein the first lens is configured to interact with the second beam, and wherein the actuation system is configured to move a second component of the optical system to adjust a position of the second beam relative to the first lens and thereby control an angle of incidence of the second beam at the photosensitive recording medium.

• and,
• a mirror, wherein the photosensitive recording medium is positioned between the first lens and the second lens and wherein the actuation system is configured to move the second optical device between:
• a transmissive hologram recording configuration in which the beam splitter reflects the second beam towards the first lens;
• and,
• a reflective hologram recording configuration in which the mirror reflects the second beam towards the second lens.
