Abstract:
A system that provides a structure which makes use of a recording geometry in which no significant Seidel induced aberrations arise. The recording geometry results in a pattern recorded on a photosensitive surface, thereby creating the hologram on the scanning disc. Reconstruction of the recorded object may be made by exposing the scanning disc to substantially monochromatic light. The hologram on the scanning disc not only directs the reconstruction beam, but also focuses it. An optical element may be used during reconstruction to correct for bow and linearity, and also optimize flatness of the focal plane. Reconstruction also involves achromatization, or correction of beam placement because of mode hops or drift in laser frequency. The reconstruction comprises both pre-scan holograms and post-scan holograms. Recording of the post-scan hologram is achieved with a plurality of lenses which possess different collimating properties in the vertical and horizontal planes. Further, a method is provided in which a scanning disc may be replicated on various transparent materials.

Abstract:
A system that provides a structure which makes use of a recording geometry in which no significant Seidel induced aberrations arise. The recording geometry results in a pattern recorded on a photosensitive surface (11), thereby creating the hologram on the scanning disc (11a). Reconstruction of the recorded object may be made by exposing the scanning disc (11a) to substantially monochromatic light (13). The hologram on the scanning disc (11a) not only directs the reconstruction beam, but also focuses it. An optical element (95) may be used during reconstruction to correct for bow and linearity, and also optimize flatness of the focal plane. Reconstruction also involves achromatization, or correction of beam placement because of mode hops or drift in laser frequency. The reconstruction comprises both pre-scan holograms (108) and post-scan holograms (101). Recording of the post-scan hologram (101) is achieved with a plurality of lenses (11, 12) which possess different collimating properties in the vertical and horizontal planes. Further, a method is provided in which a scanning disc (183) may be replicated on various transparent materials.
Abstract:
A scanner system uses rotating, high efficiency holograms to deflect a light beam achieving a linear scan. The hologram allows high system efficiency without requiring the input polarization to be aligned to the fringe pattern.
Abstract:
Système fondé sur une structure basée sur une géométrie d'enregistrement dans laquelle ne se manifeste aucune aberration induite de Seidel. La géométrie d'enregistrement produit un motif enregistré sur une surface photosensible (11), créant ainsi un hologramme sur un disque de balayage (11a). La reconstruction de l'objet enregistré peut être réalisée en exposant le disque de balayage (11a) à une lumière essentiellement monochromatique (13). L'hologramme sur le disque de balayage (11a) non seulement dirige le faisceau de reconstruction mais aussi le focalise. Un élément optique (95) peut être utilisé dans le processus de reconstruction pour la correction en courbure et en linéarité; cet élément a également l'avantage d'optimiser la planéité du plan focal. La reconstruction implique également l'achromatisation, ou correction de positionnement de faisceau, en raison de sauts ou de glissements de mode de fréquence laser. La reconstruction comprend à la fois des hologrammes pré-balayage (108) et des hologrammes post-balayage (101). L'enregistrement de l'hologramme post-balayage est réalisé à l'aide de plusieurs lentilles (11, 12) présentant des propriétés de collimation différentes dans les plans vertical et horizontal. Il est en outre prévu un procédé permettant la réplication d'un disque de balayage (183) sur divers matériaux transparents.
