Abstract

The properties of a volume-phase hologram of the reflection type are studied in the case when the reference and object waves are beams of finite width. Numerical results are obtained by considering a sufficiently large number of terms in a previously derived infinite series solution. The results reproduce Kogelnik's one-dimensional theory [1] when the thickness of the hologram is small in comparison with the widths of the beams but otherwise the finiteness of the recording beams leads to significant variations in the amplitude of the reconstructed beam.
