The invention relates to an optical
system (1) comprising at least the following components: a first
holography arrangement (2) comprising a first
diffraction element (3) which is formed by a first
prism arrangement (4) having at least a quadrangular base surface, wherein a lateral surface of the first
prism arrangement (4) has the following lateral surface regions: a first entrance surface (31) for reference light (100) extending along a first entrance plane (310), a second entrance surface (32) for object light (200) extending along a second entrance plane (320), wherein the first and second entrance surfaces (31, 32) form opposite lateral surface regions of the first
prism arrangement (4), an
exit surface (33) which extends along an
exit plane (330) and through which diffracted reference light (102) and diffracted object light (201) can exit from the first
diffraction element (3), a prism surface (34), opposite to the
exit surface (33), extending along a prism plane (340), an optical transmission
diffraction grating arrangement (36) which is arranged in the first diffraction element (3) and extends along a diffraction plane (360), which intersects the first entrance plane (310), between the first entrance surface (31) and the
exit surface (33), wherein the transmission
diffraction grating arrangement (36) of the first diffraction element (3) comprises at least one first volume phase hologram
grating, and in that the first
holography arrangement (2) has, on the side of the prism surface (34), a first mirror (35) having a first
mirror plane (350), wherein the first
mirror plane (350) encloses an angle α with the diffraction plane (360) and the prism plane (340) encloses an angle ω2 with the diffraction plane (360), wherein at least one of the angles α, ω2 is different from 45°.
