ABSTRACT:
A holographic scanner for scanning a surface with a light beam is provided. The holographic scanner includes a light source for emitting light used as the light beam, a front hologram for diffracting the light emitted from the light source to produce a first diffracted beam, a rotary hologram disk having a disk plane and rotatable around an axis thereof vertical to the disk plane, the rotary hologram disk including a plurality of scanning holograms arranged on the disk plane in a circumferential direction, the scanning holograms diffracting the first diffracted beam to produce a second diffracted beam, and a rear hologram for diffracting the second diffracted beam to produce a third diffracted beam, the third diffracted beam being used as the light beam for illuminating the scanning plane.
