Abstract
Asymmetry in the angular selectivity of the diffraction efficiency observed in polymer-dispersed liquid-crystal holograms polymerizing under the action of IR radiation is studied experimentally and explained theoretically. The theory of coupled waves developed for anisotropic media successfully describes basic diffraction properties of the anisotropic holographic gratings obtained.
