A two-dimensional holographic grating exposure apparatus and industrial production method are disclosed. The apparatus consists of a front-end beam splitting and collimating optical path and a rear-end exposure module. In the front-end beam splitting and collimating optical path, the light emitted by the laser (121) is modulated by a power modulator (111), passes through an electronic shutter (131), and is split into a first sub-beam (151), a second sub-beam (152), and a third sub-beam (153) by a beam splitting unit (14). These three beams are deflected, polarized, expanded, and collimated before reaching the first, second, and third apertures, which limit the size and shape of their light spots. The three beams after passing through the apertures are introduced into the rear-end exposure module. The first and third beams pass through the first and second coupling prisms, the substrate material, and the base material, and then intersect with the second beam, which also passes through the substrate material, at the holographic material. The interference of the three beams forms a two-dimensional grating. This apparatus can simultaneously perform two-dimensional grating exposure, simplifying the two-dimensional grating exposure process and improving the efficiency of two-dimensional grating fabrication.
