A hologram recording/reproducing device includes a laser light source
emitting laser light; a spatial light modulator generating signal light
and reference light from the laser light emitted from the laser light
source, the signal light and the reference light traveling in a common
light path; a first relay lens system including a first shielding plate
at a focal position thereof and transmitting the signal light and the
reference light generated by the spatial light modulator, the first
shielding plate having a pinhole whose size is 1 to 2 times a Nyquist
size; a phase modulating element disposed at a conjugate plane of the
signal light and the reference light transmitted through the first relay
lens system; an objective lens converging the signal light and the
reference light transmitted through the phase modulating element on a
hologram recording medium; and a light receiving system disposed between
the phase modulating element and objective lens and receiving light
returning from the hologram recording medium.
