Helmut Jahn has won a lot of honors in his long and distinguished career. Now he's got another one to put on his shelf: The lifetime achievement award of the Chicago chapter of the American Institute of Architects.

The AIA announced Thursday that Jahn would be the 2012 recipient of the award. He'll be formally presented with the honor on October 26 at the chapter's design excellence awards program at Navy Pier.

The inline type hologram recording apparatus further includes a lens 23 for condensing signal light 100 and reference light 200 on a hologram recording medium 24 so that a hologram is recorded in the hologram recording medium 24. The inline type hologram recording apparatus further includes another lens 25 for condensing diffraction light produced from the hologram recording medium 24 to form an image on an image sensor 26. The image sensor 26 performs a photoelectric conversion process for the image formed thereon to produce a reproduction signal.
Upon recording, the laser light 50 is introduced as parallel light into the spatial light modulator
