Interaction between Light and Transmission Multi-Layered Heterogeneous Photopolymer Holographic Diffraction Structures

Abstract

An analytical model of the diffraction of quasi-monochromatic light beams on spatially inhomogeneous multilayer diffraction structures formed in a photopolymer material by holographic means is presented. This model allows for inhomogeneities in the amplitude profile of the first harmonic of the refractive index of each layer of the multilayer structure.
