Abstract
Aberration properties in holographic zone plates for use in laser scanners are investigated. A generalized holographic zone plate is proposed. To generate the zone plate hologram, holographic optical product operations between plural coherent spherical waves, are applied. When spherical waves, N in number, are applied, aberration can be corrected in a scan length magnification equal to or less than N2. Experimentally, a remarkable aberration correction effect for this hologram generation method is demonstrated for over 50-cm scan length. The configuration and features are described for the developed point-of-sale (POS) scanner employing generalized zone plate holograms.
