Abstract
A hologram recording and reproducing device and an angular multiplexing recording and reproducing method capable of detecting an angular error signal for which, in a two-beam angle multiplexing method, high-speed reproducing can be achieved with a superior recovered signal. A branch element branches a light beam, emitted from a light source, into a signal light and a reference light. Angle-variable elements modify the incident angle of the reference light that is incident to the optical information recording medium. A spatial light modulator adds information to the signal light; and an objective lens radiates the signal light to the optical information recording medium. An imaging element detects diffracted light generated from a recording region when the reference light is radiated upon the optical information recording medium; a detection system detects at least two angular error signals for controlling the angle-variable elements; and switching is performed between the two angular error signals.
