Holographic light-emitting module and holographic storage system using the same
A holographic light-emitting module includes a light source module and a light shape control module. The light source module is configured to provide a signal light beam and a reference light beam, in which polarizations of the signal light beam and the reference light beam are orthogonal. The light shape control module is configured to receive the signal light beam and the reference light beam propagated from the light source module, in which the signal light beam and the reference light beam are modulated and emitted by the light shape control module The reference light beam is surrounded by the signal light beam and located at a center of the signal light beam, and the signal light beam and the reference light beam are partially overlapped.
Holographic data storage system
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.
