Abstract
ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE
A method of producing an inline hologram lens is disclosed which includes the steps of, recording on a first photo-sensitive layer a holographic interference pattern which results from the simultaneous irradiation of the layer by a reference wave beam and a subject wave beam, the two beams being in off-axis with each other and the latter beam being perpendicular to the layer, forming an off-axis hologram lens by developing the first photo-sensitive layer, facing a second photo-sensitive layer to the off-axis hologram lens, irradiating the off-axis hologram lens by a reference wave beam for reproducing, irradiating simultaneously the second photo-sensitive layer perpendicularly by a reproduced subject wave beam as a subject from the off-axis hologram lens and a reference wave beam through the off-axis hologram lens, and developing the second photo-sensitive layer.
An optical reproducing head is also described through which a laser beam from a laser source is irradiated to an optically recorded medium and through which a reflected beam from the record medium is led to a photo-detector. In this case, the optical reproducing head has a beam splitter, a quarter wave plate an inline hologram lens produced by the method described above, and a device for sticking the been splitter, the quarter wave plate and the inline hologram lens together by transparent adhesive.

7'81~i From the abo~re, it wlll be understood that the ~ nlin~ hologram len~ i~ de~ired a~ an ob~ective len~ of an optical signa:L reproaucinq head.
Although the recor~ manner of the i~line hologram le3~s i~ de~cri~ rie~ly with r~ference to Fig. 3r ~t w~ e deE;c~ribed in detail with reference to Fig . 5 . The record ~ub; ect wave beam A and record reference wave beam B, whlc~

In th~s cu32, ï5 both ~ asld B ar~ proYid~d ~y the las~r be~m from a la~er b~am or light ~our~e ~5., The record ~ub~ect waYe beam ~ i~
prep~red by the following manner. A part o the ~aser be~n ~plan~ ~ave be~3 frc~m ~he laser light ~ource 1.5 i~ ~ rrad~ ated through two be~m ~plitt~3r3 B~l ana BS2 on a mother lens topt~call convex lens~

to th~ r~ar ~os~al po~nt of lens Ll) a~d to be diverg~
ed there~rom to thereby produce a spherlcal wave b~ whi~h iæ~ the record sub~act wave b2~m A3.
~ile ~ th~ recora re~f~rence wa~e ~ieam B is prepared by the follow~ns manner. A part oi~ the la~er be~m fr~m tha laser light source LS is reflacte!d on the ~eam ~pli~er BSl, ~urther re~lected on two mlrrors Ml and ~2 and then lnc1dQnt on an a~x~llary 7~ 6 1QnS ~optlcal convex lens3 1.2. The beam ~mitted from ~e len~ L~ is oous~ed at a cenl:er point Q
on ~he be~n splitter BS2 (which s:orr~ponds to the rear focal point o~ len~ L2), then reflected on the beam spli~t~r BS2 and passed ~ro7~gh the mother lens I.l to be ~he record ref~rence wave bea~m B ~which is a parallel plane wave beam~.
~en this ca~e, the N. A. of inline hologrzm lens IN-I. thus made d~pends upon tha N.A.
of mother lens I.l~ so that when th~ inl~ne hologr~un len~ IN-L i~ usea a~ the obj~ct~ve lens of an optical ~ignal ~ ~ reproduc~ ng head, it is neces~ary to select the ~t.A. o~ inline hologrE~n lens IN-~ rather large. There~ore, in this ca~e, len~es with large N.A. mu~t be of course u~ed a~ ~he lenses Ll and I-2.
When an ordinary optical lens is usad a~ oach of ~h~ lense s Ll and L~, a lens con~ -~i~ting a m~mber of lan~ set~ must be used as in ~h~ ob~ective lens o a microsco~e. As the N.A.
become~ large, the focal point~ o~ lens~s ~ .2 Rre pos~t~oned wi1:hin the mirror cylinder with the re~ul~ that the r~corcl method of the ~ nlille hologr2 m lens ~hown in F~. 5 be~come~ ~mposs~ble.
In order to avoid thl~ problem, the ~ollow~n~ re~rd methc~ of an lnline hologram len~ with lar~e N.A. has been proposed., That is, a beam ~3p~ittex 1s provided ~n OppO5~19' relatlon to a hologrE~I rec:Qrd medium, an optieal len~ ~n~i~t~
i ng of a number o~ lens set~; is loc~ated at th~
oppos~ te sidç! o:f the beam sp~itter as an ob~ective 2'7~
lens, the l ~er bec~n rom a 1 3E~er li~ht so~lrce is incident on the objectlve lens, the cliverging beam emitted therefrom ~s irradi ated on the ho~ o-gran re~ord medium throu~h ~he beam spl ltt~r as ~ reco~d sub~ect wa~e beam r the lase~ heam is al50 incid~nt s~n an auxillary len~ to be a record re-ference wave beam, this r~3cord refe~2nce wave ~eam i~ reflected on ~he ahove be~n ~plitter, c~fl then the reflected beam i5 lrradiate~l on the hologram record meaium.
~.7ith the above record method, since the record subiect wave bean? ~spherical bean~ from the ob~ective lens passes throu~h the beam splitter, it i~ sub~ected to aberration.
To avoid this defect, it is necessary that a spe-ci a:L ob~e ~tive lens is ul~ed to thereby correct the aberration o~ the recorfl sub~ect wave he~nn Qr a similar beam splitter is provided upon re-production. T~is is, however, not ~o pre.Eerred in view of practia~l use.
Now, the method :For manufacturincr an inline hologram lens wlth a large ~.A~ accord-in~ to the present in~entlon, ~hic~ ~ ~ free of the prlor defects and oan e~ly manuacture an inllne hologram lens, wlll be aescribe~.

7'81~i From the abo~re, it wlll be understood that the ~ nlin~ hologram len~ i~ de~ired a~ an ob~ective len~ of an optical signa:L reproaucinq head.
Although the recor~ manner of the i~line hologram le3~s i~ de~cri~ rie~ly with r~ference to Fig. 3r ~t w~ e deE;c~ribed in detail with reference to Fig . 5 . The record ~ub; ect wave beam A and record reference wave beam B, whlc~

~re irradia!tea on ~ circular area of record ~urface (photo-sensitiv~ sur~acs) r of holoqram record medium HR to ~orm the inl~ne hologram len~ por~on ~L which con~i~t3 of int~r~erence patterns. In th~s cu32, ï5 both ~ asld B ar~ proYid~d ~y the las~r be~m from a la~er b~am or light ~our~e ~5., The record ~ub~ect waYe beam ~ i~
prep~red by the following manner. A part o the ~aser be~n ~plan~ ~ave be~3 frc~m ~he laser light ~ource 1.5 i~ ~ rrad~ ated through two be~m ~plitt~3r3 B~l ana BS2 on a mother lens topt~call convex lens~
Ll ~o be focus3sed at a point P ~whi~h corre~pond~
to th~ r~ar ~os~al po~nt of lens Ll) a~d to be diverg~
ed there~rom to thereby produce a spherlcal wave b~ whi~h iæ~ the record sub~act wave b2~m A3.
~ile ~ th~ recora re~f~rence wa~e ~ieam B is prepared by the follow~ns manner. A part oi~ the la~er be~m fr~m tha laser light source LS is reflacte!d on the ~eam ~pli~er BSl, ~urther re~lected on two mlrrors Ml and ~2 and then lnc1dQnt on an a~x~llary 7~ 6 1QnS ~optlcal convex lens3 1.2. The beam ~mitted from ~e len~ L~ is oous~ed at a cenl:er point Q
on ~he be~n splitter BS2 (which s:orr~ponds to the rear focal point o~ len~ L2), then reflected on the beam spli~t~r BS2 and passed ~ro7~gh the mother lens I.l to be ~he record ref~rence wave bea~m B ~which is a parallel plane wave beam~.
~en this ca~e, the N. A. of inline hologrzm lens IN-I. thus made d~pends upon tha N.A.
of mother lens I.l~ so that when th~ inl~ne hologr~un len~ IN-L i~ usea a~ the obj~ct~ve lens of an optical ~ignal ~ ~ reproduc~ ng head, it is neces~ary to select the ~t.A. o~ inline hologrE~n lens IN-~ rather large. There~ore, in this ca~e, len~es with large N.A. mu~t be of course u~ed a~ ~he lenses Ll and I-2.
When an ordinary optical lens is usad a~ oach of ~h~ lense s Ll and L~, a lens con~ -~i~ting a m~mber of lan~ set~ must be used as in ~h~ ob~ective lens o a microsco~e. As the N.A.
become~ large, the focal point~ o~ lens~s ~ .2 Rre pos~t~oned wi1:hin the mirror cylinder with the re~ul~ that the r~corcl method of the ~ nlille hologr2 m lens ~hown in F~. 5 be~come~ ~mposs~ble.
In order to avoid thl~ problem, the ~ollow~n~ re~rd methc~ of an lnline hologram len~ with lar~e N.A. has been proposed., That is, a beam ~3p~ittex 1s provided ~n OppO5~19' relatlon to a hologrE~I rec:Qrd medium, an optieal len~ ~n~i~t~
i ng of a number o~ lens set~; is loc~ated at th~
oppos~ te sidç! o:f the beam sp~itter as an ob~ective 2'7~
lens, the l ~er bec~n rom a 1 3E~er li~ht so~lrce is incident on the objectlve lens, the cliverging beam emitted therefrom ~s irradi ated on the ho~ o-gran re~ord medium throu~h ~he beam spl ltt~r as ~ reco~d sub~ect wa~e beam r the lase~ heam is al50 incid~nt s~n an auxillary len~ to be a record re-ference wave beam, this r~3cord refe~2nce wave ~eam i~ reflected on ~he ahove be~n ~plitter, c~fl then the reflected beam i5 lrradiate~l on the hologram record meaium.
~.7ith the above record method, since the record subiect wave bean? ~spherical bean~ from the ob~ective lens passes throu~h the beam splitter, it i~ sub~ected to aberration.
To avoid this defect, it is necessary that a spe-ci a:L ob~e ~tive lens is ul~ed to thereby correct the aberration o~ the recorfl sub~ect wave he~nn Qr a similar beam splitter is provided upon re-production. T~is is, however, not ~o pre.Eerred in view of practia~l use.
Now, the method :For manufacturincr an inline hologram lens wlth a large ~.A~ accord-in~ to the present in~entlon, ~hic~ ~ ~ free of the prlor defects and oan e~ly manuacture an inllne hologram lens, wlll be aescribe~.

On the center portion of photo-~en~itive lay0r ~, recor~ed is a ai~-shaped off-a~i~ hologram lens portion HLl whi~h i~ then devel~ped a~ described later. In this ¢ase, the off-axis hologram lens OX-L ~g 80 formed t~at when a reproduction reference wave beam ~pl~ne or sph~rical wave beam, in ~his ex~mple, the pl~me wave beam iY used) B' ~s irradiated on the lens portion HL' in the photo ; -~en~tive layer K through ~he glass ~ub~trat~ GS
