Diffraction of quasimonochromatic light beams on multilayer inhomogeneous photopolymer holographic diffraction structures

Abstract

Abstract A theoretical model of quasimonochromatic light beams diffraction by spatially inhomogeneous transmitting multilayer diffraction structures formed in a photopolymer material by a holographic method is presented in this work. This model takes into account the heterogeneity of the amplitude profile of the first harmonic of the refractive index of each layer of the multilayer structure. The model is presented using method of transfer matrixes whose components are the solutions of the coupled waves equations of partial derivates.
