目前體積全像術用來作為光資訊儲存或影像顯示，都是利用兩道同調光束進行干涉，將影像資訊紀錄於晶體當中，再由其中一道光重建出影像資訊。這樣的架構必須使用分光鏡分成兩束光，不僅單位面積光強減弱，而且要維持兩道光的光學路徑及光強不致相差太大，來達到較好的明晰度。
使用單一光束的方法來紀錄影像資訊，可有效減少光學元件所造成的光強損失，並使光路架構簡易方便。論文中，我們介紹(1)幾何式單光束法、(2)單光束紀錄法以及(3)丁字型架構來進行彩色全像紀錄，將影像紀錄於摻鐵鈮酸鋰晶體中。
在幾何式單光束的架構中，我們完成了彩色影像的紀錄與讀取，並分析其繞射效率及角度容忍度。在單光束紀錄法中，以光扇效應作為紀錄的機制，由於晶體內光柵形式複雜，所以用來進行彩色全像術並沒有得到很好的結果。以丁字型架構來說，它不是單光束的架構，但是能夠以良好的同調性來進行干涉紀錄，並重建出彩色影像。
