Abstract

An information recording apparatus includes an acoustooptic deflector, receives a laser beam from a recording light source and an amplitude modulation signal, and diffracts the laser beam in two directions, thereby generating a carrier wave diffracted beam and a lower sideband diffracted beam. The carrier wave diffracted beam is provided with information by a spatial light modulator and modulated, and is incident, as a signal beam, on a moving recording medium. The lower sideband diffracted beam is incident, as a reference beam, on the same incident region as that of the signal beam. The two beams interfere with each other, and multiplexed recording of a hologram is performed on the recording medium.
