A 3D optical microscope device of a small form factor optical system is disclosed. A transmission optical system device comprises a first lens having a left side disposed in contact with an input plane, and a second lens having a right side disposed in contact with a rear focal plane and disposed at a position spaced apart by a focal length of the first lens. The first lens and the second lens Fourier-transform a light signal incident on the input plane and output the transformed signal to the rear focal plane.

A holographic optical system and a holographic display method may be efficiently applied when using a spatial light modulator (SLM). A holographic display apparatus includes a spatial light modulator (SLM) configured to reproduce a hologram, and an optical system configured to perform Fourier transform with respect to the hologram of the SLM using a pair of first and second lenses, the first and second lenses being confocal. A Fourier plane which is a display reference image plane is positioned in the same plane space as the second lens.
