Abstract

Disclosed are a holographic memory medium for use in a holographic memory system, which can prevent generation of stray light of a gating beam at the time of recording information, and a recording apparatus which uses this memory medium. This memory medium records an information signal carried by a signal beam as a coherent reference beam and the signal beam enter the memory medium with a gating beam being present. The memory medium has at least a first surface and a second surface parallel to each other and comprises an antireflection coat, formed on the first surface, for preventing reflection of the gating beam. The recording apparatus records an information signal using a holographic memory medium and comprises a light absorbing member of absorbing the gating beam coming through the memory medium.
