An optical head for a hologram optical apparatus and a method of operating the same are provided. The optical head for the hologram optical apparatus includes a reference light unit for guiding reference light, a signal light unit for guiding signal light, and a light source unit for providing 1 the reference light and the signal light to the reference light unit and the signal light unit, wherein the reference light unit and the signal light unit are stacked. The signal light unit includes: a plurality of optical waveguides stacked sequentially; composite hologram optical elements and lighting hologram optical elements disposed on the plurality of optical waveguides; an optical modulator for modulating light output from the plurality of the optical waveguides; and a lens for condensing light output from the optical modulator onto a recording layer.

A photorefractive (PR) polymer composite (310) is provided that includes a charge transporting polymer (CTP) matrix (311) and a photosensitizer (312) comprising a quantum dot (QD) material (314) with a first band gap (315) coupled to a nanoparticle material (317) with a second band gap (316) greater than the first band gap. The photosensitizer (312) is configured to generate a plurality of free charges (318) and to transfer the free charges to the CTP matrix (311) in response to an incident photon (320) on the PR polymer composite (310). An apparatus (500) is also provided, for writing holograms of 3D perspective views of an object from different directions within the PR polymer composite (310). A method (600) is also provided for forming the PR polymer composite.

Provided is a holographic data storage system characterized by including: a first polarizing beam splitter (PBS), wherein at least either of a first lens module and a second lens module transmits P-polarized light and reflects S-polarized light; a relay lens collecting light passing through the first PBS; a mirror reflecting the light collected through the relay lens back to the relay lens; and a quarter wave plate located between a second PBS beam splitter and the relay lens, converting transmitted linearly polarized light into circularly polarized light, and converting the circularly polarized light into linearly polarized light. By reducing the volume of the relay lens, it is possible to decrease the size of the holographic data storage system, and by decreasing the number of lenses, it is possible to lower manufacturing costs.
