Continuously changes between π. On the other hand, the amplitude of the light wave remains constant and does not change. Utilizing this characteristic, a phase type zone plate is recorded by inputting a voltage signal to each pixel so as to give a phase corresponding to its spatial coordinates. FIG. 1(b) shows how a laser beam is focused by this phase type zone plate. The laser beam 100 incident on the liquid crystal spatial light modulator 101 is focused to a point F1 on the optical axis by the action of the phase zone plate 103. By changing the information input to the liquid crystal spatial light modulator 101 and recording phase zone plates with different focal lengths,
The light focusing position can be moved from point F1 to point F2. Here, a spherical lens is taken as an example, but in addition to this, a cylindrical lens or an aspherical lens can be used as a phase zone plate to be recorded on the liquid crystal spatial light modulator.

When the transfer function of the lens B302 is φA and the transfer function of the lens B302 is φB, the transfer function of the complex lens to be recorded on the liquid crystal spatial light modulator is given by the following equation. 1/2 {e×P(φA) e×P(φB)} This transfer function is a complex number whose amplitude continuously changes from 0 to 1. To record this, a liquid crystal spatial light modulator is required that can simultaneously and independently control both the amplitude and phase of the light wave. For this purpose, as shown in FIG. 3(c), an ECB mode liquid crystal spatial light modulator 3 capable of phase modulation is used.
03 and a TN mode liquid crystal spatial light modulator 306 capable of amplitude modulation constitute a liquid crystal spatial light modulator in which a pair of flat plate microlens arrays are conjugately connected. The light wave modulation characteristics of ECB mode and TN mode liquid crystal spatial light modulators are shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, respectively. The laser beam 300 first
The light enters a TN mode liquid crystal spatial light modulator 303, where it undergoes amplitude modulation. The optical arrangement of the liquid crystal spatial light modulator 303 is such that the two polarizers are in a crossed Nicol relationship and the transmission axis direction of the incident side polarizer is orthogonal to the incident side liquid crystal molecule director. By doing so, as shown in FIG. 5, the phase change of the light wave can be made small enough to cause no practical problems. Next, the laser beam is transmitted through a pair of flat microlens arrays 304 arranged afocal,

From the laser beam of the book, focused spots are obtained at two points, point F1 and point F2. The above situation is shown in FIG. 3(b). In this embodiment, a compound lens consisting of two spherical lenses is used, but it is also possible to increase the number of lenses and perform overlapping recording.
