[0042] In this embodiment, the first beam splitter 41, the second beam splitter 42 and the third beam splitter 43 can be arranged as follows: Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the second beam splitter 42 is located between the first beam splitter 41 and the third beam splitter 43, and the first beam splitter 41, the second beam splitter 42, and the third beam splitter 43 are sequentially located in the first direction. The first beam splitter 41, the second beam splitter 42, and the third beam splitter 43 may also be arranged in other ways, as long as the arrangement mode of dividing the exposure light into the first beam 411, the second beam 421, the third beam 431, and the fourth beam 432 is satisfied, all of which are within the scope of protection of this embodiment.

[0049] The implementation principle of the manufacturing device of the two-dimensional vector volume holographic grating provided in Example 1 of the present application is: The holographic dry plate 8 is fixed by the sample stage, the exposure light is emitted by the light emitting component, and the exposure light is processed by the beam splitting exposure component, so that the exposure light is divided into a first light beam 411, a second light beam 421, a third light beam 431 and a fourth light beam 432, so that the first light beam 411 is vertically incident on the first surface of the holographic dry plate 8, and the second light beam 421, the third light beam 431 and the fourth light beam 432 are respectively incident on the second surface of the holographic dry plate 8 at a predetermined incident angle, and the orthographic projection of the second light beam 421 on the holographic dry plate 8 and the orthographic projection of the third light beam 431 on the holographic dry plate 8 are located on the same straight line and have opposite propagation directions, and the orthographic projection of the fourth light beam 432 on the holographic dry plate 8 is located on the same straight line and has opposite propagation directions, and the first light beam 411 is vertically incident on the first surface of the holographic dry plate 8, and the second light beam 421, the third light beam 431 and the fourth light beam 432 are incident on the second surface of the holographic dry plate 8 at a predetermined incident angle, respectively. The propagation direction of the orthographic projection of the light beam 432 on the holographic dry plate 8 is perpendicular to the propagation direction of the orthographic projection of the second light beam 421 on the holographic dry plate 8; in this way, the first light beam 411 and the second light beam 421 are exposed to interfere with each other to form a first grating propagating along the second direction, the first light beam 411 and the third light beam 431 are exposed to interfere with each other to form a second grating propagating along the third direction, the first light beam 411 and the fourth light beam 432 are exposed to interfere with each other to form a third grating propagating along the fourth direction, the propagation direction of the first grating is opposite to the propagation direction of the second grating, and the propagation direction of the third grating is perpendicular to the propagation direction of the first grating, and finally a two-dimensional vector volume holographic grating is prepared.
