    Abstract: Provided is a holographic optical element printing method using a tunable focus lens and a rotating mirror. According to an embodiment, a holographic printer includes: a first optical engine and a second optical engine configured to adjust a phase of an incident collimated beam and emit the collimated beam; and a first reduction optical system and a second reduction optical system configured to reduce the beam emitted from the first optical engine and the second optical engine and to allow the beam to enter a holographic material, wherein each of the first optical engine and the second optical engine includes: a rotating mirror configured to reflect while adjusting the phase of the incident collimated beam through rotation; and a tunable focus lens configured to refract while adjusting the phase of the incident collimated beam reflected from the rotating mirror through focus tuning. Accordingly, by using a combination of a tunable focus lens and a rotating mirror, instead of using an SLM of a holographic printer, quality of an HOE may be enhanced, a printing time per hogel may be reduced and a total recording time may be greatly reduced when holographic printing of the HOE is performed.

    Abstract: Provided are a holographic printing device and method using multiple optical heads. The holographic printing device according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises: a fringe pattern generation unit which generates a holographic fringe pattern, and segments the generated fringe pattern into hogels; a multiplexing unit which groups the hogels, segmented by the fringe pattern generation unit, according to area; and a plurality of optical heads which respectively receive the grouped hogels and print the respective hogels in the corresponding areas of a holographic medium. Accordingly, several hogels can be printed on the holographic medium at a time using the multiple optical heads, thus reducing holographic printing time so that even large screen holograms can be printed at high speed.

    Abstract: Provided is a hologram printing method and apparatus using a hologram medium light efficiency map. A hologram printing method according to an embodiment emits a laser to a hologram medium, acquires an image by photographing light diffracted from the hologram medium, generates a light efficiency map of the hologram medium from the acquired image, and records hogels on the hologram medium by referring to the generated light efficiency maps of the hologram medium. Accordingly, light efficiency is measured on each hogel area, and hologram printing is performed by adjusting an intensity of a laser of each wavelength according to a hogel, so that uniformity of luminance and color of a hologram printing result can be enhanced.

    Abstract: Provided are a method and an apparatus for printing a hologram by using a mask. The hologram printing method according to an embodiment generates a hologram fringe pattern, splits the hologram fringe pattern on a hogel basis, generates the split hogels, masks a part of the generated hogel, and prints the masked hogel on a hologram medium. Accordingly, an empty space which occurs between hogels when a hologram is printed is prevented from being generated by using a mask, so that a fill factor can be effectively enhanced, and eventually, image quality of a hologram can be enhanced.
