Abstract
Abstract A method for constructing and reconstructing a hologram. The hologram is constructed by irriadiating two construction beams (102,103) having different incidence angles (β', a') onto a hologram record medium (101) and forming interference fringe patterns therein by the two construction beams. The hologram is reconstructed by irradiating a reconstruction beam (106) onto the interference fringe patterns so as to diffract the reconstruction beam in accordance with the interference fringe patterns. At least one of the two construction beams irradiates the hologram record medium through at least one optical deviation element (119). The incidence angle, relative to the interference fringe patterns, of the reconstruction beam is different from that of each construction beam and arranged to be nearly a Bragg angle at any point of the hologram.
