ABSTRACT:
A compact apparatus for reading from and/or writing to holographic storage media and polarizing filter for use in such an apparatus includes a substrate with an outer zone and an inner zone, the outer zone and the inner zone having different optical properties for a first direction of polarization and a second direction of polarization, and a wave plate attached to the substrate for influencing the polarization of the a light beam, wherein a part of the wave plate corresponding to either the outer zone or the inner zone is switchable.
