Effect of aberrations in a holographic system on reflecting volume Bragg gratings.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The effect of aberrations in the recording beams of a holographic setup is discussed regarding the deterioration of properties of a reflecting volume Bragg grating. Imperfect recording beams result in a spatially varying grating vector, which causes broadening, asymmetry, and washed out side lobes in the reflection spectrum as well as a corresponding reduction in peak diffraction efficiency. These effects are more significant for gratings with narrower spectral widths.

A simple method for Bragg diffraction in volume holographic gratings
We discuss a simple beam interference approximation method for deriving the angular selectivity of diffraction in weakly modulated volume holographic gratings. The results obtained using the multiple beam interference model agree qualitatively with the results obtained from a physical optics treatment of the coupled-wave theory for volume holographic gratings. © 2009 American Association of Phy...

Abstract: Phase masks are important optical elements that have been utilized for several decades in a large variety of applications. Recently, we demonstrated a new type of phase masks fabricated by encoding phase profiles into volume Bragg gratings, allowing these holographic elements to be used as phase masks at any wavelength capable of satisfying the Bragg condition of the hologram.
