ABSTRACT:
A method of and apparatus for efficiently correcting an aberration of an optical system used to record a hologram at the stage of reconstructing an image of the hologram. At the stage of reconstructing an image of a hologram (3), which contains the record of interference fringes formed by a reference plane wave and an object wave modulated by a sample, by applying a plane wave for reconstruction to the hologram (3) from a laser (1), an aberration of an optical system used to record the hologram (3) is canceled by the phase distribution on a liquid crystal panel (6) having a spatial phase modulation function, which is disposed on the Fourier transform plane, thereby correcting the aberration. The phase distribution on the liquid crystal panel (6) can be changed flexibly by a computer (9) in accordance with the aberration coefficients or degree of defocusing of the recording optical system.
