Abstract: A hologram recording material includes a polymerizable monomer (A) that is active in radical polymerization but is substantially inactive in cationic polymerization, a polymerizable monomer (B) that is active in cationic polymerization but is substantially inactive in radical polymerization, and an initiator system (C) that polymerizes at least one of the polymerizable monomer (A) and the polymerizable monomer (B) through irradiation with light. The polymerizable monomer (A) and the polymerizable monomer (B) each have, in its structure, a moiety selected from the group consisting of aromatic rings, halogen atoms other than a fluorine atom, and sulfur atoms not derived from a cyclic sulfide or a mercapto group. A hologram recording medium includes a recording layer composed of the hologram recording material.

Abstract: An optimal recording exposure is determined by varying in the first to nth stages the recording exposure with a write laser beam to record a bright pattern image and a dark pattern image in each stage as the first to nth bright pattern images and the first to nth dark pattern images, respectively; irradiating the respective pattern images with a read beam to detect the intensity of a diffracted beam from the central portion of each image of the bright and dark patterns; calculating Sa1/Sb1=SNR1, . . . , and San/Sbn=SNRn, where Sa1 to San are the intensity of a diffracted beam from the first to nth bright pattern images and Sb1 to Sbn, are the intensity of s diffracted beam from the first to nth dark pattern images; and determining a recording exposure which is given at the SNRmax being the maximum value of the resulting SNR1 to SNRn.

Abstract: A method for evaluating a hologram image recording medium includes: recording continuously a plurality of fine holograms, each being the same in size as an element hologram, on a hologram image recording medium to be evaluated, using either one of a two-beam interference between a reference beam and a signal beam both being a plane wave and a two-beam interference between a reference beam being a plane wave and a signal beam being a spherical wave; reproducing a diffraction image by irradiating the recorded fine hologram with a plane wave; from intensity distribution data based on a captured diffraction image, determining an intensity distribution data array and a diffracted beam intensity Is, the intensity distribution data array having the same shape and size as those of the fine hologram; and when the diffracted beam intensity Is takes on the maximum value Is(max), determining an SN ratio.

Abstract: A remote control device is designed such that it enables an object to be remotely controlled to execute an operation only by the user approaching the object to be remotely controlled. When the user who carries the transmitter 1 depresses an operation button A at a position distant from an automobile 2, the transmitter intermittently transmits a signal containing identification information and command information corresponding to the operation button A. As the user comes closer to the automobile 2 and enters an automatic operation area, the reception level of a receiver 3 exceeds a predetermined value, and the transmission signal is thereby received. The identification information and the command information of the reception signal are decoded, and an operation corresponding to the command information, e.g., door unlocking, is executed by an execution portion 4.
