Abstract: A cartridge for holding a hologram-image recording medium for use with a hologram-image recording apparatus, including locating means for properly positioning said cartridge, for sequentially exposing and recording interference fringes generated by an object laser beam modulated in accordance with each element image of parallax images and a reference laser beam having coherency with respect to the object laser beam is provided. The cartridge includes a light shielding case capable of shielding external light from inside the cartridge. The case also defines an unreeling opening. A core is positioned within the cartridge around which the hologram recording medium is wound. The hologram recording medium is unreeled from the core to an exposing and recording portion of the hologram-image recording apparatus through the unreeling opening when the cartridge is mounted on the hologram-image recording apparatus.
