Abstract

The diffraction efficiency of volume holographic gratings can depend strongly on the state of polarization of the incident light. We have experimentally studied the diffraction properties of highly polarization-sensitive, volume holographic gratings in the highly modulated regime formed using DMP-128 photopolymer and have compared data in this regime to existing theories. We have found that rigorous coupled-wave theory accurately predicts experimental measurements of the diffraction efficiency in the highly-modulated, polarization-sensitive regime, while a simpler two-wave theory modified to include form birefringence does not.
