Polarization properties of volume holograms.

The polarization properties of volume holograms are investigated theoretically and experimentally. Various coupled wave theories are applied to investigate the polarization characteristics of volume holograms in different diffraction regime, and first-order two-wave coupled theory is used to predict...
